Thank you, for your response, first of all.
Secondly, this is the F150, FX2 Eco-boost 2012 upgraded with special towing package till 11,300lbs towing capacity, with AirRide system and other issues. So please don't worry, this is amazing truck and can safely tow a lot !!!

I just can't help myself.... what is the cargo capacity of the truck with the towing package? FYI: Tow rating means little with a TT.

The heck with that....

Load it up (truck/trailer) camp ready..everybody and ALL the stuff then hit the CAT Scales for a REAL WORLD eye opening information about weights.

Stickers, data plates, mfg. specs......hooey!
Real World ......ACTUAL weighing
Once across scale without WDH connected
Once across scales WITH WDH
Once across scales truck only

Now have ALL the info needed to:
1) Set up WDH
2) Get real tongue weight
3) Get real weight on axles
4) Get real weight on truck....and how close/over it is

WEIGH IT...then post the REAL Weight numbers


PS:
Post pictures of actual weigh tickets (all 3 of them) and I will send you the reimbursement of costs for weighing!



ON EDIT:
Truck GVWR ---------------8,200#
Truck/trailer GCVWR ---- 17,100#
MAX Tow (published) -----11,300#

Published.....150# driver and 20# cargo
MAX Payload.....F150 3.5L Eco 4x4 ---REG CAB/2398# (1539# or less for other cabs)
MAX Tongue weight (With WDH) 1,130# (only 10% of MAX Tow weight??)

GCVWR minus MAX Tow====max weight of truck
17,100 - 11,300 = 5800# (bet truck weighs MORE then that so tow weigh goes DOWN)

So if truck is closer to GVWR 8200# then trailer weight can only be 8900# for GCVWR

Two weights one should NOT exceed....
GAWR and GCVWR

So load up camp ready and post.....otherwise you are OVER WEIGHT truck and truck/trailer combo. Simple addition/subtraction
