Sorry, I have no idea what that torklift is. Ford doesn't mention it in their documentation anywhere, so it must not be a Ford thing? I'm just talking about the factory stuff. The max for the 2014 F-150 is 11.300 pounds towing and 1130 pounds max tongue weight with a WDH. Per Ford's 2-14 F-150 towing guide 2014 F-150 Towing Capacities
The sticker on the receiver says it maxes at 11,500 for towing and 1150 for tongue weight with WDH (5000 and 500 without), but my truck is 11,200 max (with Max Tow package, HD package not available for my EcoBoost model) and 1130 max tongue as per Ford's guide. The 1130 appears to apply to all models, even if the max tow capacity varies.
And no matter what the max is, payload is still a limiting factor. Depending on what model you have, you can have as little as 900 pounds payload. I believe that was the lowest I saw on a EcoBoost Limited model. Of course it can be much greater if you have a lower model and don't have a SuperCrew, etc.
I think the poster has replied once, so maybe we'll get lucky and he'll reply again? :)
