2013 F-150. 5.0 engine. 4X4 3.55 axle ratio. GCWR 13500.
I'm not sure how everyone gets so much extra weight in their campers. I weighed everything I put into my current camper(food, tools, blankets, etc) and it only totaled and extra 280 lbs or so.
Still need the trucks most important GVWR and RAWR numbers.
However Ford F150 can have a 3850/4050/4800 rawr. These numbers will determine how much load can be placed in the trucks bed.
Run some numbers at ya' shows your trucks rear axle may weigh in the 2400 (approx) range subtract from 3850 rawr leaves approx 1450 lbs payload in the bed.
Or the next 4050 rawr may have approx 1650 lb payload in the bed.
And if your truck has the 4800 rawr its good for approx 2400 lb load in the bed.
Actual scaled separate axle weights works best.
Fleet Ford tow specs for the '13 5.0 engine 3.55 axle range from 7550 on up to 9800 lbs depending on the trucks GVWR numbers. This tells us you won't have any problems pulling that much weight.
You sure won't have any problems pulling the size trailer your looking at.
The GAWR is 3850 lbs. The GVWR is 7350 lbs.
