In Wa St, Assuming you have an 8000 lb empty truck, no passengers etc, you will have to buy a 12,000 lb GVW license/registration. You would be legal to that amount too! So 4000 lbs of payload. Actual weight legal would be 10-11K lbs per axel, Assuming a 10-12" wide tire.
I'm sure the motor etc is up to a 12-15K trailer. WIth a 7000 RA, 5-6000 FA, you should be fine from a legal standpoint pulling the large toyhauler.

I find this to be bad advice from a

Stating that OP can put 10-11K lbs on an axle, assuming a 10-12" wide tire. Unless that tire is on a 19.5" rim you will not find a tire with 5,000# to 5,500# capacity.
Seeing how Ford only rates their SRW F350 to 11,500#, the combination OP is looking at will likely put the TV over that much weight likely do to tires.
Discussing exceeding manufactures GVWR and/or axle rating, requires a full discussion of wheels and tires and their capacities.
The OP is a new member encouraging him to start out over manufacture GVWR, and possibly over rear GAWR, wheel, and tire ratings I don't understand at all.
