Help - I don't want to kill my truck with my trailer...

Another vote on watching tongue weight. I have run the numbers every which but Sunday on my older F-150. I have max tow package and can stay below limits on everything but TW. 6,500 loaded is my max with a 900 lb limit and 100 of that is eaten up by weight distribution hitch.

My hitch has a 900 lb limit I but when I run the numbers on cargo weight, it's around 900-1,000 lbs anyway and that's with a max cargo. I am carrying more people but your truck may not have a as much payload.
