On the door post sticker my F-150 says max cargo of 1411 lbs. this is with the towing package. Other models will vary a bit depending on the trim package.
Yes, with the towing option I have I can pull 9500 lbs.; “provided” I do not exceed the 1411 max cargo. So if I have 1000 lbs. of tongue weight, 50 lbs. of WD hitch, 150 lbs. of truck cap and tools. I could pull a 9500 lb. load, provided I did not weigh over 200 lbs. and I did not want to take the DW, kids or the dog.
It is not the load pulling capacity that stops you, it is the max cargo and how much over it you want to load your truck.
