No the hitch is not included in that number nor is the weights of the passengers, misc cargo or anything else. You may need a MDT
Last I looked, the F450 WAS and IS an MDT! granted an equivalent of a Ranger to an F350 in that category. It still is a DOT Class 4 rig! which is an MDT by anyone that I know of that understands the DOT class 1-8 truck classifications.
With that said, the OP may need a rig with more payload! Be it a class 4, 5 or 6 rig depending upon the interior pkg wts etc.
