I gotta say. The gentlemen on this forum are the most knowledgable and willing help of any forum I've ever been on. Thanks to all of you for your input.

As you can see in the pic above. The trailer is a 6x12 utility trailer with a cargo box on the front. The box carries rather straps and misc bungie cords. Not too heavy. The ATV's are as follows.

CanAm Outlander 800 XTP weight 800# wet.

Polaris Sportsman 570 weight 750# wet.

The trailer has the extra side gate up front which adds a good bit if weight to the front of the trailer.

Ok. So I just noticed this on the tire info sticker.

"The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed 1051#'s.

So I need to start paying attention when I load it how much things are totaling up to.

So #1051 minus you, hunting buddies, gear, gas, and trailer tongue weight that is applied to back of truck. Doesn't take much to use up that #1000 of payload, especially with a quad. I can see why your rear-end squats so much...

As opposed to other F-150's is the 1051#'s considered low?

Looking at that and what you haul I am more convinced that you are very tongue heavy. You need to load that trailer up and get a tongue weight and total weight to determine how things are loaded.

I would be putting the heavier Outlander in the rear position with the way that axle is set up.

The door sticker on my '13 Screw Ecoboost (no HD payload package) reads 1754 lbs.
