Can you check my weight numbers please
Thanks again for all the help I've gotten as we try to find the right TT for us! I wondered if someone could look over our numbers. All info was taken directly from the car or the Ford Towing guide....

Actually, he is over on payload.
Even only considering 10% of 6800 = 680.
Payload of 1422 - 680 = 742.
Estimation of all passengers, dogs, and cargo = 750.
He is cutting it very close on payload. What he may check is if the payload capacity includes the driver and a full tank of gas. If it does (as it does in my truck) he should have just a bit more leeway.

Weight of hitch plus tongue weight plus anything in tow vehicle (wife, kids, dogs, stuff etc.) all are part of 'payload'
That being said.....
Think you should stick to 6800# (even up to 7000#) Gross Weight of trailer.
