The hitch math

Ford says to plan on a of 10% of the trailer: about 350 lb for 3,500 lb. That weight sits on the truck, not the trailer.

Add 500 lb of people and gear, and the truck carries 850 lb in all. Ford's with the 3.5L HO is 1,405 lb, so 555 lb is left. A real truck's payload, on the label in its door jamb, is lower, so check that number before you buy.

At 3,500 lb, Ford doesn't require a ; over 5,000 lb it does.
