Towing vehicle is Ford F150.

So your max towing weight is around 2k# including the trailer? That's
going to limit you to boats of about 1500# disp (empty weight really)
or less.

Your opinion of Ford trucks, or is there something about this truck
that your aware of that is not in the thread?

Should have said, what year & model? The ratings vary widely.... I
just saw an ad for the 2007 F-150 claiming a tow limit of 10500# which
is a heck of a lot.... but that's only one specific model & the other
models drop down to half that. The older trucks I'm more familiar with
have lower ratings.

That's my point, I didn't see anything that indicated what the tow
rating would be on that particular Ford F-150. Rating will be based
on engine, transmission, rear end gear ratio, and number of wheels
driven. And it will be the lessor of the actual tow rating or the
Gross Combined (your analysis I deleted) and normally Gross Combined
will be the limiter.

However most Ford F-150's will tow in excess of 2K, some far in
excess.
