What is the maximum tongue weight printed on the receiver's label for "Weight Carrying"?
My 2004 Explorer says 500# -- would think your new F-150 could handle more than that.

My 2011 F150 says 500# Weight Carrying. Apparently all F150's are like that. Bit disappointed as it looks like it could do more (at least 640# like the after-markets).
But I think Ford is more worried about taking # off the front end. I'm taking 200# off the front with the 500# tongue weight. That's about 6%.
