Already had the trailer and then bought the truck assuming I had plenty of headroom weight-wise for towing. Then after the fact I did my homework thanks to the great info on the forum and got nervous but I think I'm ok. I will take the setup to the scales but would like input prior to put my mind at ease in the meantime.

F150 Lariat 4X4 3.5EB, 3.55 ratio, cargo capacity per yellow door jam sticker 1528 lbs.

Passengers weight total round up to 500 lbs.
Tonneau cover and bedrug about 150 lbs.
WD hitch guessing 75 pounds.
Travel Trailer dry weight 4730 so add 1500 pounds for cargo, batteries, propane etc. (we don't typically travel will full holding tanks) so round up to 6300 lbs.
Hitch weight when dry is 550 lbs. so loaded round up to 740 pounds.

Total cargo weight = 500+150+75+740 = 1465 pounds. So in reality, if I don't put anything in the bed of the truck, am I too close to capacity from a safety standpoint?

Thanks in advance.

6300 at 13% is 819 lbs tongue weight
You're going to be very close to GVWR. Just be carful about what you load in the truck.
When you actually get to the scales you'll know for sure.
Even with 450lbs of water I normally only have around 1500lbs in my trailer for a 2 week trip so your loaded trailer weight may be lower than 6300.

Yup.
