Still a bunch... and that worries me a bit.
The GVWR for your truck (maximum allowable total, including the weight of the tow vehicle itself plus fuel, passengers, cargo, and the trailer and its contents) is 13K. Although Ford says that in a fifth wheel (or gooseneck) application you can go up to 18.6K GVWR.

If the trailer weighs in at 13 before you even add a vehicle and "stuff" to it...You are definitely in the market for some more truck, hoss.

(Or, less trailer).
