Hey Dey,
We pulled our first TT (an X23B) with our 02 Expedition (5.4L) 2x4. Our Rear GAWR was 4128#, the CAT scale said our rear axle had 3100# on it unloaded and our tongue weight was 600#. With just the Bride an myself we were good on the weight, when we added another couple we were probably a little north of the GAWR in the back.
Our max tow weight was 8950# and a properly balanced TT could have had 1300# on the hitch which would have put us well north of the rear GAWR.
You could load up the family truckster and for $10 the CAT will tell you what the rear axle is carrying now which will give you an idea of what the max hitch weight would be.
