Weight total for trailer and hitch on F150
Hi, I have been pulling my hair out for a week trying to make sure I have the correct weight I can haul and the total hitch weight and hitch payload weight. Could someone please verify these number...

Exactly...probably ran away never to return lol. Funny I can sit here at a state park on a Friday and watch the rigs roll in and the vast majority are being pulled with 1/2 ton trucks. Not 16' trailers either but plenty of 30' or longer. Packages? It evidently works here in the central PA mountians but not at RVnet or other RV forums. Many years of coming here and have yet to see one piled up along the road going down or on the shoulder with a blown motor or tranny, or broken axle. Strange indeed.
Hey now, I grenaded a trans like I've never seen before on my 08-09 F150 work truck at about 50k miles. I mean trail of truck blood all the way off the freeway and parts actually hit the ground on the shoulder after I stopped!
Trouble was, I wasn't towing a thing and that truck probably saw less towing than any of the other 40+ trucks, company or personal rigs, I've ever had.
That truck literally towed my Jeep on a Uhaul a few hundred miles, 2 place sled trailer on short trips up the hill and maybe moved my boat in the driveway once or twice. Lol
That one was a lemon though. Injectors, door lock/handle, trans (in spectacular fashion), cat plugged and melted everything on the left side of the engine bay that wasn't steel or aluminum. All in the first 2 years and 70k miles. She was a beaut!
OP that truck will be good for a 8000lb TT giver take. More if you're brave and/or in the flat lands. Less if you're trying to run 65mph uphill at high altitude.
