Word. It'll 'handle' more. I'm not sure how exceeding any of these limits comes into play should you have an at-fault accident, but, just don't do that. Anyways, you might be pushing the tow rating, but I don't think you're exceeding it. You've certainly got the power, and also the braking. You weigh more than an normal F-150. And you're wider. The only thing I can think of that's really hurting you when it comes to towing, is the soft suspension. Big deal. Tow on.
