I see no issue with payload here at all the only Issue I see is your 8500lb towing capacity. That 8500lb capacity decreases when anyone or anything is put into the truck. Eat up 1800lbs of your payload and your towing capacity is decreased to 6700lbs. This is the only hold back I see. If you had my F150 that is rated to tow 13000lbs I'd say go for it all day everyday but with that low tow capacity I'm not so sure how it will run. I'm guessing it is the engine your truck has that keeps that capacity lower. What engine do you have? How far and often do you plan to tow? If it was just weekend trips here and there within a 100 miles or so I'd say go for it. If towing a lot long distances the engine may not be up for that load. Anyone saying you need a bigger truck than a half ton for that trailer is full of it. Your payload capacity exceeds half of the 3/4 ton diesels payload capacities out there today. Most 3/4 ton diesels I have seen are in the 1700 to 1800 lb range so don't always go by bigger is always better. It needs to be the correct outfitted truck whether half ton 3/4, or 1 ton for what you want to pull.
