The hitch math

Ford says to plan on a of 10% of the trailer: about 500 lb for 5,000 lb. That weight sits on the truck, not the trailer.

Add 500 lb of people and gear, and the truck carries 1,000 lb in all. Ford's with the 2.7L V6 is 1,775 lb, so 775 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 5,000 lb, Ford doesn't require a ; over 5,000 lb it does.
