F-150 Crew Max Tow vs. Hideout 30ft TT
Ok, my current truck is a 2013 F-150 4x4 Crew Cab Max Tow. GVWR on the truck says 7650 lbs overall. Best I could deduce from the lovely Ford Towing Guide is that overall towing capacity would be 11,20...

It's comes down to preference, you might be in the ratings but many feel some 1/2 tons are overrated, or leave too little extra rating over "allowable" rating. I wouldn't tow that trailer with a 1/2 ton with my family in the cab around here.
Many also don't really know if they are in their ratings or not. Have you scaled your setup?
A quick search shows your truck has a 1840lb payload, is that correct? A fully loaded 32' TT will probably end up with a tongue weight of about 1200lbs, if not more. . The hitch will likely take another 100lbs of that. That just doesn't leave much room for family and anything in the truck, and is the biggest issue with 1/2 tons. Their limits aren't really negotiable, unlike SRW HD trucks.
My TT has similar empty weights and my TW jumps up to 1250lbs really quickly and I have seen it as high as 1350. Just my 0.02.
Did you tow this specific trailer with the F-350? And what generation F-350 was it?
