The hitch math

Ford says to plan on a of 10% of the trailer: about 1,100 lb for 11,000 lb. That weight sits on the truck, not the trailer.

Add 500 lb of people and gear, and the truck carries 1,600 lb in all. Ford's with the 3.5L V6 is 2,440 lb, so 840 lb is left. A real truck's payload, on the label in its door jamb, is lower, so check that number before you buy.

Over 5,000 lb, Ford says to use a .
