Had a change of plans, Want some opinions
My plan was to get a fifth wheel and pull with my '02 Extended Cab 3/4 ton chevy (6.0) and buy a newer truck later. This how now changed, since my car died recently, I had to get another daily driver...

My F-150 has a max cargo of 1411 lbs. My 5000 lb. dry TT crosses the CAT scales at 6200 lbs. when loaded for the road. That puts 700 lbs. on the tongue which leaves 711 lbs. for two adults a large dog and camp gear.
The Cat scales tells us we are at or near our max cargo capacity. Our 25 ft. Dutchmen Lite tows just fine in any terrain including the Rockies and the desert, thanks to the E-boost engine.
Anything heavier and we would need a bigger truck, anything longer and we could not wind through city street looking for quilt shops.
I agree with the previous post, about 5000 lbs. dry TT weight is enough to ask of the F-150s payload when you are loaded for the road.
