[QUOTE="nickf2005, post: 16290678, member: 136350"] Item #1 is to determine your payload capacity. It's on a yellow sticker in the driver's side door jam. Tongue weight will subtract from your payload and will often times be the limiting factor on a half ton, not the towing capacity. Figure 10-13% of your trailer weight will end up as tongue weight. My 2015 F150 with towing package and 3.5ECO has a payload of 1,780lbs. 7,000lbs of trailer weight would equate to 910lbs of tongue weight, reducing my available payload to 870. My hitch is rated only for 5,000lbs, so add a weight distribution hitch, approximately 100lbs, now I'm down to 770. Subtract out my weight (240), now I'm down to 530. So on and so forth. Anything not stock ON the truck subtracts from payload. My truck is rates for 12,400lbs towing capacity, but I could never come close due to payload. The only way you can, is if the trailer itself is supporting the entire weight of the load, such as a hay wagon. Payload, payload, payload!
