Don't sweat 120lbs. You could probably exceed the weight by 500 and still be OK (~5% of sticker). The sticker is known capability but there's always a hefty margin for error to keep lawyers happy.
But the numbers police will claim otherwise. You need a 550 or MTD.Last edited by Lane Hog; 05-04-2021 at 06:21 PM.

8700 without the trailer is a heavy beast. That only provides 1300# of remaining payload with a GVWR of 10K. Being 120# over the GVWR of your truck would not excite me too much. Take a look at your tire and axle ratings compared to the actual axle weights when hooked up and determine where you are at on those.

Unload a tub of firewood to soothe your conscience, burning that much in 4 days seems like a constant bonfire. I have a '19 260RD weighing in at roughly 8500# and my "little" F150 is well within all loading and tow limits. FYI the hitch weight came in around 1525-1550# .

I have the stock Firestone tires inflated to 80lbs rear so they hold the maximum weight. Weight rating is 3700 lbs. according to Tire Rack.
I just took a trip this past weekend and it handles perfectly. I did remove two tubs of FW from the truck. It ended up raining most of the weekend and we never even made a single fire.
Thanks to all of you that have responded.Last edited by Leatherman; 05-13-2021 at 08:21 AM.
