Have you found a 4x4 crew cab F-150 on a lot that you can check the payload sticker on? THE 2,300 figure seems high for a non HD payload version in your configuration. Without the HD option, you will be overloaded with either of the trailers you mentioned. Those are dry pin weights. Check the max GVW of any trailer you look at, and use a minimum of 20% of that figure for pin weight. Also remember the weight of the 5th wheel hitch also counts against your payload. You should seriously consider an F-250 for what you want to do. A margin of safety for you and your family is something to consider when you make your purchase.

With my 2014 F150 XLT screw 6.5' w/Hd payload and max tow, I only have 2200# available payload. Not sure where you are getting 2310 for a non-HD truck.
