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...

I didn't think the 1/2 ton eco boost with the 6 lug wheels had the semi floaters. I'll take your word for it as I don't know a lot about the options for Fords. I drive a Dodge ram diesel.
Light duty axles are semi-float, and heady duty are full-float. Those are the two options for live axles.
Before any zealot pops in, there are a couple exceptions to this statement! As a whole it is correct, but Ram had a 1500 with 2500 running gear several yeas ago. Ford had a light duty 2500 with 6 lug semi floaters a while back. I also believe that GM had a HD 1500 that had full floaters.
Semi floater; single bearing supporting the drive axle, which also turns the wheel.
Full floater; two bearings that are supported by the axle housing, the drive axle only job is to turn the wheel.
