So a 3/4 ton will allow a payload of about 1500 lbs. In all practicality that means you will be looking at a max hitch weight of 1000lbs this leaves you only 500 lbs for you and any other passengers plus any gear you plan to put in the truck.
1000 lbs hitch weight means a max trailer weight of about 7000 pounds as 15% 0f trailer weight is usually transferred to the hitch.
Did you mean half ton?!? Ford half tons range from ~1,300 to 3,300lb payload. 3/4 tons have a wide range but in general can pull pretty much any bumper pull as they're designed for the half ton market (ok there are some >10k pound beasts that really need a 3/4 or F150HD, but they're fairly rare)
