What are my vehicle s limits
I know your looking for a single number however on a RV forum you will not get a consensus on how much weight your truck can carry or how much weight can it tow safely/legally.
Some want to use the tire placard payload sticker number.....others use a 80 percent of the trucks numbers.....others use a number made from a GCWR....some choose the size trailer they want and mod the truck to make it work/etc.
I'm old school and use the trucks 3850 rawr for a load limit.
I would stay under the trucks 3850 RAWR for how much load the truck can carry.
I also would pull the full tow rating Ford gives for that truck.
