Ok scale update.
Went to a certifed cat scale with whole family and all gear (bikes, coolers, ect) and this is where we are.
2013 F-150 fx4 Ecoboost
GVWR-7200lbs
GCWR-15500lbs
RGAWR-4050lbs
Payload-1162lbs
Maximum loaded trailer weight rating-9600lbs
Maximum tongue weight rating-1050lbs
Actual Weights
GVW-6480
F-3636
R-2844
Now I know the tracer is out of the question, but if I laoded all the stuff I put in the truck box and put it at the back of a trailer would I not gain extra payload?? I estamate 125Lbs of the 6480 was gear.
Also we have 2 autos so if we had to I could deduct 125lbs (gear) and 275lbs (wife,2kids) from gvw,payload and put in second auto.
So with all that, what is the max trialer I can haul. Found another one that fits our needs It comes in at around 5900lbs dry with a 750lbs hitch weight.
Sorry for spelling errors,
Thanks.
I do not think your payload number is correct. I did not see that low of number for your truck on the Ford site.
