Page 12 is about slide in campers. Even then payload exceeds 2600 pounds. You will need this package:
F-150 Heavy-Duty Payload Package
(Option Code 627)
Increases GVWR to 8,200 pounds.
• LT245/75R17E BSW A/T tires (5)
• High-capacity 17" 7-lug steel wheels (XL)
• High-capacity 17" 7-lug aluminum wheels
(XLT/Lariat)
• Heavy-duty shock absorbers
• Upgraded springs, radiator and auxiliary
transmission oil cooler
• 9.75" gear set with 3.73 limited slip axle

Note the E rated tires up graded shocks and springs, heavy duty rear end and 8200 pound GVWR.
If we can believe what the manufactures say about our HD trucks we can believe what they say about their little brothers. Would I take off on a 5000 mile trip with a F150 pulling 11000 pounds? Ain't no way. Will the truck do it? Ford says it will. The 3.5 Ecoboost is more than up for the task. Go drive one. I would not have believed what this engine would do till I drove one. It is the nicest engine that I have ever driven in a pickup.
