Don't know why the company has this big freakin' Toy Hauler, but my truck sure didn't like it, first, and hopefully last time hauling it.
Momentum 350, 40 feet long, 16,850 GVWR, a little less than 14K actual weight.
Booger was that it has a big 7.5 KW generator up front, combo of that and a big empty back end, made it way nose heavy.
Not sure what the pin weight is, but had my truck bouncing off the bump stops, rough roads were no fun.
I don't have any idea what "feeling loose" means to you, but I never felt anything that I would call loose, my truck with the nose heavy trailer was as stable as anything I've ever hauled, just rough over bigger bumps, but just fine otherwise.
No, zero powertrain issues, pulled it as hard and fast as I would ever want to go. Set the CC on 70-72 on the interstate and rolled on just fine.
Your wheels might have a lower load rating than your tires do, I think mine does.
Yeah that seems to be the case for me too. My 18 aluminum rims are rated at 3,590# a pop, which is under the load rating 125 tires I have (3,638#), which of course is still above my GAWR of 6,340lbs for my F250.
Its only a F250. What did you expect?
What does the door jam sticker allow you for a total pin weight?

Sticker doesn't "allow" anything, it states the manufacturer suggested rating, that is not law, it is not an allowance, it is a suggestion.
The only "law" associated with weight for my truck is its Texas registration weight, which is 26,000 pounds gross.

I’m curious, I’m assuming you have to pay your registration based on the weights you register with your state?
Are the registration fees the same for an F250, F350 if they are registered for the same weight?
If so, why not just get an F350 for the extra few hundred dollars and then have a truck that is ‘suggested’ by Ford to haul more weight?
