Joining the eco boost club
Barring a dealer reneg, I’ll be joining the Eco Boost club in the morning with a 2018 Max trailering F150. After much careful deliberation, I couldn’t make the F250 fit my circumstances. Y’all feel ...

Well, you did make a mistake if you didn't get the HDPP. If your payload sticker isn't close to 2000 lbs you will be on the edge of safety, and your comfort will suffer when towing.
I have a similar trailer with almost identical weights. Your hitch weight ain't gonna be 830 lbs. It'll be closer to 1000. My HDPP handles an 1100lb tongue and 8500 lb trailer great with 4 in the cab. The EB I had before was just Max Tow and it didn't have enough payload and I was overloaded most of the time and I could tell. Now I know better.

I've read a couple of your posts in the F150 towing forum, and your comments along with other HDPP owners are one of the reasons why I went with the 2018 HDPP F150.
My trailer is 8,300 dry/9,900lbs max, but I don't see me adding over 500-600lbs worth of personal stuff in the trailer, while taking full advantage of my 2,470lbs payload by carrying generators, coolers, a few tools, etc, in the truck.
My two 2000 watts inverter generators and a screen tent will most likely be the heaviest single items in the truck or trailer, so I will probably be in the under 9,300lbs range depending on how much fresh water I decide on carrying...probably a 1/4 tank.
