What is the payload capacity of your truck? You can find it on yellow sticker on the door pillar behind the front door.
On a half ton this is usually the most critical number. From this number you must subtract all passengers, any pets, any stuff stored in the cabin. You must also subtract the hitch ball assembly, plus any cargo in the bed, and finally, the tongue weight.
And if you do not know the tongue weight, then multiply the GWVR (not the dry weight) by 13% and subtract that from cargo capacity of your truck.

I went out and purchased a new F150 crew cab and found 2 rockwood that fit weight wise one is 29'8" and the other is 33'8". Is there something I need to consider here or does the length here matter? I have seen much about considering length just weight.
