Just wanted to jump in and point out that, referencing the towing guide, in 2013 the F150 V8 5.0L was offered with the 3.73 axle. That gave a max tow of 9200-10000, depending on cab configuration. It requires the heavy duty payload package to achieve that.

I’m curious to know OPs wheelbase, axle ratio, and cab configuration. I have same year, make,model,trim, and engine of tow vehicle. I have same hitch, I have same TT just a couple or few feet shorter (242lhs). I have 157” wheelbase, 3.55 axles, super crew cab. Not many half tons would handle even my TT.. my tow vehicle weight (6200lbs with me in it) and wheelbase are in my favor, but I wouldn’t tow anything longer even with mine. My next truck will surely not be a half ton.
