As with any 1/2 ton rated pickup (for the most part) you will run out of payload well before towing capacity. There are things you can do to help out with payload like air bags or super springs but I would be cautious. What is most important is the safety of you, your family and anyone else that might happen to be traveling near you when you are on the road.

It looks like your TT GVWR is 6600lbs from what you mentioned (Dry + CCC). If you were fully loaded then you would be close to the GCWR for the TV. No doubt the F150 you mentioned will pull a 6600lb trailer. It's doing it safely, in control and being able to stop.

Add the weight of propane tanks, propane, batteries to the "hitch weight" and you'll be closer to the actual hitch weight. Loaded up that trailer will have over 900 pounds of hitch weight. So as mentioned.... it'll work, as long as its only you in the truck.

NO it is too much. Unless it is just you in the truck you are not going to have enough payload. Now are you going to believe the numbers?.

You will only have maybe 300 lbs at best left over. Subtract from that the weight of you over 150lbs.
