New F-150 with 13,200 lb tow rating!

If your trailer only weighs 10,000# your tongue weight should be 1,300# {13 percent} + another hundred pounds for the weight of the weight distribution hitch = 1,400. that leaves you nearly zip {64#} of available payload off of the door sticker of 1,464.

BTDT: My 2006 F-150 SuperCab with the 5.4L V8 had a towing capacity of 8,600# and a payload rating of 1,464. My 22' TT with a GVWR of 5,600 and a normal load of my bride, the dog and I along with some tools and firewood left me with just 200 pounds of payload despite being 3,000# under my alleged tow capacity.
Good luck!
