He's got a supercab with HDPP. Should have over 2K payload, but yes, it will be close.
Also, if you bumper pull, the hitch rating will be your limited factor. It should have a sticker on it, but I think it's ~1200# TW (with WDH), which is ~9200# trailer. |
Can I Tow a fifth wheel 9700lbs But a quick way to tell is to load the truck with everybody and everything that will be in it when towing. Drive to a truck stop that has a CAT scale and fill up with gas. Then weigh the wet and loaded truck. Subtract the weight of the wet and loaded truck from the GVWR of the truck. If you don't have the 5er hitch installed yet, thenSubtract another 150 pounds from that, and If the answer is more than 1,950 pounds then you can probably tow that trailer without being overloaded. PROVIDED your 5er doesn't gross more than 9,700 pounds, and when you weighed the truck you included everybody and everything that will be in the truck when towing that 5er. |
Another way to determine how much it can tow, scale like Smokey said, subtract the weight from GVWR then subtract 150 pounds for the hitch, multiply the result by .18 (18%) and that is the GVWR you should look for in a 5th wheel. Same for a tag along, but reduce the hitch weight to 100 pounds and multiply by .13 (13%).

Like everyone else said... the yellow sticker in the door jam will be your limiting factor. It will tell you the difference between your GVWR and the weight of the truck with a full tank of gas. Everything you put in the truck including yourself and the hitch/tongue weight needs to be less than the number on the yellow sticker. That will limit your tongue weight to a number that is a fraction of what is needed to appropriately tow a trailer that is at the max tow rating for the configuration. So ignore the ~13K in the manual and do the math based on the yellow sticker and who and what will be in the truck.

My 2010 f150 towing a gooseneck
I know this pictures are terrible but here’s some of my 2010. My truck is equipped with max tow with the 3.73 rear end. I also have it programmed with a cold air intake. It’s on a 6” lift woth35” tires. Handles stuff like this fine. Revs a little and uses gas but no issues. Doesn’t even squat enough to where I’d consider bags but a stock truck may squat more. I installed the gooseneck after the lift so not sure
