I have an 2004 F150 Supercrew Lariat, 5.4liter, 4x4. I am getting ready to drive from Anchorage Alaska to Minot AFB North Dakota and bought an enclosed trailer to move myself. I would like to bring my 1992 Honda accord with me but am concerned about the total weight my truck can pull. The door sticker says my GVWR is 7200. I could have sworn I was able to pull up to 9200 lbs. Anyway, I weighed the trailer and car:
Trailer 2200lbs
Car 3000lbs
Appx weight of personal items 2000 lbs
total weight appx 7200 lbs.

I don't want to pull the maximum weight I am allowed to pull for a distance of 3000+ miles out of fear of causing damage to my truck. Should I be concerned pulling this amount of weight so far? I do know my truck has a transmission cooler and a break controller. Thanks guys!

 

The GVWR is the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating as in the Gross of the truck not the trailer. Truck and trailer is GCWR - Gross Combined Weight Rating. With the truck and your trailer with load you will be under your GCWR. Have a good trip and don't forget to write

 

Hope you have a WD hitch setup for that load too! I would not want to tow that rig without one....

Good luck and have a safe trip!
