I would say no more than 5000 lbs. I can look in my owners manual tomorrow to give you an exact number. What wheel base is it? Auto tranny? Gear ratio?

G.V.W.R. 4900-5800 lbs, towing 2000-6000 lbs, C.G.W.R. 11,000 depending on configuration and tires. If you post your configuration (reg cab/ supercab, tire size, gear ratio, etc...) I can post actual numbers.

11,000 lbs F100/F150 with weight distributing hitch, maximum 6000# trailer.

I ran everything together above and should not have. It should be 2000-6000lbs trailer requires weight distributing hitch. All 100/150's 11000 lbs C.G.V.W.R., G.V.W.R. changes with the configuration of the truck. Sorry about the confusion.
