No offense to OP but for the reality of stability & safely towing your truck isn't any more competent for handling a TT than any other f150 that has the same light 3,225 & 3,800 axle weight ratings and 6,900 GVWR regardless of the payload sticker. ........snip.....
GVWR is the total weight that the vehicle is designed and rated for. I follow Ford's advice and recommendation that that the vehicle is designed to carry 2,312 pounds of passengers and cargo as the yellow sticker which is specific to my vehicle states. I also believe that if I chose to remove the rear seat then my payload would go up that tiny amount while my GVWR would remain the same. Same way when they went from steel to aluminum. Less empty weight leaves more payload. To say that going to aluminum construction did not increase available payload must be a huge surprise to Ford and I want to be there when they are so informed.
