My 2004 F350 GVWR is 11,500# and weights 8,000# (with us in it) so I have a 3,500# payload. If you look at the axle and tire ratings you could probably carry more. Legal is based on tires and axle ratings along with what it's actually plated for.
A GVWR of 11,200# I suspect you have the 4x4 version.
18,100# x 20% = 3620# pin. It will be a little lower is the trailer is not loaded to gross.
The real issue you may have is lack of power! If stock that 7.3 will be lacking the HP and torque to move that big of load.
People do it, but going to take a bit to get rolling.
