I recommend you take your complete rig as ready for travel to include all passengers and full fuel tank and have it weighed on a certified scale such as a CAT scale that will give axle weights. Then drop your trailer and weigh the truck by itself to get axle weights. You can use the figures to calculate your pin weight to know what your truck is CARRYING. There is a big difference in the terms what your truck can tow and how much it can carry. I think you will be surprised because I know I was. Although I am within limits (barely) on my 2012 F350 SRW PSD I did have to install a higher rated hitch.

Yes, we have the pull out tray in the back and love it but do have to be careful about weight distribution to not put too much back there and make the pin too light.
