The F150 with the 5.4 and the 3.73 will lug a CGVW of about 12,600#. If you load both the truck and the A/S you are going to be pretty close to that. The truck won't tow 7,600 # unless it is pretty close to empty. You have to consider both the wet weight of the A/S and the weight in the tow vehicle -- thus the relevance of the CGVW.

Hartwell is absolutely right. I meant to mention CGVW in my previous post. Tow ratings only tell part of the story.
