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...

There is the difference. 150 rating are unrealistically high, and 250 ratings are unrealistically low. Cause you know the engineers think differently when it comes to 250s and know the numbers are optional.
Yeah Right! It comes down to some not liking 150s/1500s and in fact not having the skill level to use them for their intended use, and needing something to make up for it. Not realizing that 1500s/ 150 are made the same way, all using the same components with different rear gears, and engines to get their GVWR rating.

Much like my truck I know the build specs of my TT, it's a 10K lb frame with 5,200lb axles. The GVWR was the dry weight plus 1,750 and much like my pickup is a paper limit that is different than the actual design specs. The same frame and suspension is used on various GVWR's, none of which are what it's actually designed for. It's all about knowing your equipment.
I also never said you where overloaded, based on what Ford says you can do, I simply said I wouldn't do what you are doing with my family in the truck around here.
