Need Advice - In a Pickle

I have a 2013 (company-owned) F150 SuperCrew with the 5.0 V8, 3.31 gears and 145" WB. It has the tow package and integrated brake control system. Sine it's company-owned, there's no upgrading and no changing the gears, etc. The GCWR is stated at 13,500lbs with a curb weight of 5,254lbs. The tow capacity is stated at 8,000lbs.

I found a screaming deal on a 28ft. TT with with 5,770lbs shipping weight and a GVWR of 7,690lbs. The numbers on paper look decent, with about 1,000lbs of occupants/dogs/stuff & hitch in the truck and throwing another 1,000lbs in the TT for good measure and the numbers seem to indicate around a 800-1,000 left over for good measure.

Does all that sound right? Does anyone else two with the 5.0 in a similar configuration that can set my mind at ease a bit? I'm not new to towing, but my previous TT was around 7,500lbs - but towed with a V10 Excursion.

Need to make a decision quick on the TT. It really is a screaming deal for a 2014 model... Thanks in advance...

It sounds to me like you will be way over GMVWR. We were over with virtually the same truck (2013 F150 Crew Cab). You will almost certainly be over the max payload for the truck. The towing rating and hitch weight (with a WD hitch) will work (barely), but your payload is probably under 1,500 lbs if you weigh the truck.
