Ford towing guide shows a GCWR of 16,100 and a maximum loaded trailer weight of 10,700. Truck is a 4x4 with tow package ( No Max Tow) and 3.31 gears. I added the OEM brake controller. Have I left anything out?

The whole family and hitch stinger weighs 5609 - 5108 = 501
Payload available for tongue weight 7000 - 5609 = 1391
We don't know the rear axle weight with the family on board. Could be about 2200 + 150 = 2350
So rear axle capacity available for tongue weight could be 3800 - 2350 = 1450
The limiting factor could very well be the hitch receiver. What's yours rated for? It's on the sticker underneath the bottom of the hitch receiver.

That's for the Heavy Duty Payload Package, which you don't have. Just go out and look at it.
