That's dry weight. Ignore it.
UVW * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 7256 lbs.
CCC * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 2364 lbs.
CCC * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 2364 lbs.
GVWR 9620. So figure on at least 9,000 pounds for the wet and loaded trailer with normal stuff in it ready to go camping. Average hitch weight is 12.5% of trailer weight so figure on 1,125 tongue weight plus another 75 pounds for a good WD hitch. You'll probably be overloaded with that much trailer.
xterior Length * * * * * * * * * * * * * *34′ 10″
Too long for an F-150 SuperCrew, unless you spend the big bucks for a ProPride hitch. If you don't want to invest in a ProPride , then back off on trailer length to less than 30 feet.

There will be no issue right up until your first big gust of wind or a semi passing at 120kmph. Then you will have to surgically remove your seat covers from your butt. That's too long and overall too large for that truck.

AND . . . the trailer is too long for that truck
