By now you understand you are looking at an F350 to haul what you want? If you are planning long hauls and frequent, maybe consider a dually.

Yes do the math, your 5 passengers and their luggage is going to use up at least 1000 pounds of your payload. Put something in the bed, in this case if I read your post correctly, a 800 Razor, plus the setup to load it and you are probably at 2500 pounds. Throw in a trailer tongue weight and hitch, you are at probably 3500 pounds, about 2000 pounds over your allowable cargo weight. Unfortunately people are correct, that’s 1 ton truck territory.

Good luck. It's never fun finding out your truck isn't up to doing what you want to do, especially when it's a newer purchase. Hopefully you haven't committed to the 7700lb trailer, and can start looking for a smaller toy hauler to bring the RZR and fam.

Didn't look up Ramptek, thought they were ramps to put the RZR in the bed. Putting an 800 on top of the bed will make the truck pretty top heavy, I definitely wouldn't do that with an F150 while towing a heavy trailer. The ramps that put the front end over the cab, I'd want a super duty with camper certification to load like that.

For what you are looking to do I would look into a toy hauler so you can tow with your current truck and also take the RZR along.
