What trailer wt could I tow safely?
I have a 2018 F150 2WD w/ the 5.0 L V8. Dealer said it can tow 12200 lbs. What Maximun Trailer wt should I consider to tow safely and comfortably?

I seriously doubt it.
The highest gross combined vehicle rating among all the configurations of 2018 F-150 (combined weight of trailer and truck) is 16,600 lbs. In order not to exceed that rating the weight of the truck with all passengers and gear would have to be 4,400 lbs or less.
The curb weights for all configurations run 4,069 to 5,265 lbs and I'm pretty sure the weight on the 5.0L (largest engine) is going to be closer to the 5,265 lbs number.
So my thinking is no way the truck is towing a 12,200 lbs trailer and not exceeding one or more of the max. weight ratings.
