2016 f150 pulling 2016 Jayco 29rks

I just traded in my f350 for a 2016 f150 with 5.0 and weighed my truck and trailer with equalizer 10k bars and got real close on weight.
truck only (with hitch still on) steer=2980 35 5/8
rear = 2300 38 1/8 in

no wdh bars on steer =2540 36 3/4
rear = 3760 35 5/8
trailer = 7240
total weight 13540

with wdh bars on and adjusted
steer = 2960 36 in
rear = 3200 36 1/4
trailer = 7400
total weight = 13560
Only drove 23 mi to scale and back home seem to pull ok might not have to downsize my trailer

Since we leave our big Jayco on site in Az we have not needed our 3500 Dodge/Cummins. We bought a Silverado with the 5.3 and tow package and another brand trailer that is 27ft with a large slide and a small slide. The 1500 Chevy pulls it just fine. Two things I likie: gas is a lot cheaper than diesel and the mileage is a lot better empty which is most of my driving. Make that three things, oil changes are a lot less too.
