I tow the exact same trailer as your with an f150, and am under all the weights.
It would be really cool to see the weigh slip in how the weight of this heavy trailer stays within range of a F150.

Not all F150's are SuperCrew 4x4's optioned to the max. Only a few are really a "half-ton" trucks.
For example, my F150 4x2 SuperCab has a ~2050# payload and 11300# tow capacity. And that's without the HD payload option, but with the MaxTow.
It's Class IV receiver can carry 1150# tongue weight with a WDH (at 13% tongue weight that's an 8846# trailer), leaving 900# for people, gear and WDH.
And from my experience, about only 60% of tongue weight will go on the rear axle (and 20% each on front and trailer axles). That ~700# should fit on our truck's rear axle as currently our loaded truck (without trailer) is 900# under the rear GAWR.
