My profile has not been updated but I have purchased a new truck. 2015 F150 Supercrew, 4x4, 3.5 ecoboost, 3:55, max payload package. I also will be using the Equalizer 4 point weight distribution system.
I have posted the weights and maximums for my tow vehicle and new trailer. To the best of my knowledge all the numbers are correct.
F150
Curb Weight: 4940 lbs.
GVWR: 7000 lbs.
Max Cargo: 2060 lbs.
Total towing capacity: 10,7000 lbs.

F150
Curb Weight: 4940 lbs.
Occupants: 400 lbs.
Fuel: 200 lbs.
Loaded Tongue Weight: 950 lbs.
Misc. Cargo in Truck 250 lbs.
Total Weight: 6740 lbs. *300 lbs. less than GVWR
Loaded Trailer Weight: 7700 lbs.
Truck / Cargo combined: 850 lbs. (tongue weight included
in total trailer weight)
*2150 lbs. Under maximum tow capacity of the truck.

I feel like this is a safe combination. Opinions?
JMO but I think you'll be fine. The newer F150s have more payload than most 1/2 tons.
However is the 2060lb payload from the brochure or the door jamb?
