2007 F150 Towing Capacity
2007 5.4 FFV
3.73 Gear
20" Premium Wheels
240K, Original Transmission
GVWR 7200
Max Tow Package
Trailer to pull 2800#
Car loaded on trailer 3200# Curb Weight
Approximately 400# Cargo in Truck
Based on the research I've done it appears to me the maximum trailer weight is 5100# for this truck or 11,000# combined.
That puts me 1000# over the limit. Are my calculations correct? Would you pull the load? All interstate and reasonably flat. About a 2 hour trip in mild weather conditions.
Any thoughts appreciated.
Thanks!

I would weigh the wet and loaded rig to confirm the accuracy of my estimates. Add the weights on the front and rear axles of the tow vehicle and compare that total to the 7200 GVWR of the F-150. If you're not overloaded, then go gettum.
If you are overloaded by a coupla hundred pounds, then it's up to you as to how much of a gambler you are.
With that tired old tranny, I would not want to exceed any weight limits of my tow vehicle.

I've decided against the journey. Risk just isn't worth the reward. I don't have the Harley trim but the asterisk on the chart shows any truck with premium wheels with a leer figure. If I harm the transmission then I'd feel pretty stupid. I do appreciate all the input.
