Good Job. I think you are a little conservative on your calculations but certainly a correct way to do it. It really is amazing how many people think that the manufactures tow rating is a "I can tow anything, as long as it is less than the tow rating" rating. You certainly could tow a bumper mount flat bed loaded with bricks wieghing 15,000# with a pin wieght of 12% but no way you are going to tow a 15,000# FW with a pin wieght of 20% or higher with a 3/4 ton truck.
