We definitely love the floor plan. I was thinking the same thing about the height of the trailer. We plan on doing a little boon docking after we get better familiar with the RV, but all in due time.
As far as the weight of the TT, I don't have the Max Payload, but do have the Max Tow Package. The max payload would have given me and additional 400 hundred lbs of payload capacity. The UVW is 5340 lbs with a dry tongue weight of 590 lbs. That calculates for my TV to be at 10.9% of the tongue weight. When fully loaded, the GVWR is 7700 and puts the tongue weight around 871 lbs (assuming 10.9%. If I assume 14% of trailer tongue weight at 7700 lbs, that would be 1100 lb of tongue weight. My max tongue weight allowance is 1150. Its funny that they can say "you can pull 11,300 lbs" but they never say that the weight you can tow is really driven by your hitch tongue weight rating, tongue weight of trailer and your payload capacity of the TV. I definitely did lots of research before buying my F150 Ecoboost.
