Wet weight of AF1150 (+ 500 lbs "stuff") is 5097. Pushing it a bit.

No, did not come with the 7 pin behind the cab, just the standard 7 pin on the back bumper with the towing package. My truck does have the heavy duty front end, all set up for plowing with the heavier springs, wiring, front sway bar etc. thinking of adding a rear sway bar at some point in the future even though it does handle pretty well right now with no suspension mods. Only get a little sway on driveway entrances etc. Joe
You may want to crawl under there and check...they are wire tied on the chassis, between cab and bed....worth a look.
Now you've got my curiosity up. Going to check it out tomorrow morning. Joe

These are from the .pdf of my onwers manual...not sure how this will post;
Heavy-DutyTrailer Wiring Harness
Package
For vehicles equipped with heavy duty trailering, the
harness is connected to the trailer mounted to the hitch
platform. The eight-wire harness contains the following
trailer circuits:
• Yellow: Left Stop/Turn Signal
• Dark Green: Right Stop/Turn Signal
• Brown: Taillamps
• White: Ground
• Light Green: Back-up Lamps
• Light Blue: CHMSL*
• Red: Battery Feed**
• Dark Blue: Trailer Brake
*The Center High-Mounted Stoplamp (CHMSL) wire is
tied next to the trailer wiring harness for use with a
trailer, slide-in camper or cap.
**If you are charging a remote (non-vehicle) battery,
turn on the headlamps to boost the vehicle system
voltage and properly charge the battery.

Camper/Fifth-Wheel Trailer Wiring Package
Notice: Pulling a fifth-wheel trailer with a vehicle
that is equipped with the SS trim package could
damage the vehicle. Do not pull a fifth-wheel trailer
with a vehicle equipped with the SS trim package.
The eight-wire camper harness is located under the front
edge of the pickup box on the driver’s side of the
vehicle, attached to the frame bracket. A connector will
have to be added to the wiring harness which
connects to the camper.
The eight-wire harness contains the following
camper/trailer circuits:
• Yellow: Left Stop/Turn Signal
• Dark Green: Right Stop/Turn Signal
• Brown: Taillamps
• White: Ground
• Light Green: Back-up Lamps
• Light Blue: Center High-Mounted Stoplamp
(CHMSL)
• Red: Battery Feed
• Dark Blue: Trailer Brake
If your vehicle is equipped with the “Heavy-Duty
Trailering” option, please refer to “Heavy-Duty Trailer
Wiring Package” earlier in this section.
When the camper-wiring harness is ordered without the
heavy-duty trailering package, an eight-wire harness
with a seven-pin connector and separate CHMSL
connector are located at the rear of the vehicle and are
tied to the vehicle’s frame.

Also helpful;
Auxiliary Battery
The auxiliary battery provision can be used to supply
electrical power to additional equipment that you
may choose to add, such as a slide-in camper.
If your vehicle has this
provision, this relay will be
located on the passenger’s
side of the vehicle, next
to the auxiliary battery.
When using this provision, connection should only be
made to the upper stud (A) of the relay. Do not
make connections to the lower stud (B) of the relay.
The auxiliary battery circuit is protected by a megafuse
located behind the auxiliary battery.
Be sure to follow the proper installation instructions that
are included with any electrical equipment that you
install.
Notice: Leaving electrical equipment on for
extended periods will drain the battery. Always turn
off electrical equipment when not in use and do
not use equipment that exceeds the maximum
amperage rating for the auxiliary battery provision.
Power Winches
If you wish to use a power winch on your vehicle, only
use it when your vehicle is stationary or anchored.

This seems to indicate that you would only have the auxilary power if you had camper package?
Good luck,

Glad our 2500HD crew cab 4x4 short bed shows that tag but with a truck camper. Sounds like the company is covering there butt on this one. That or ford can't haul the load anymore. But this Chevy and Dodge does.

If you want to carry an extremely heavy camper on a crew cab truck, get an F450/550 or Dodge 4500/5500 cab/chassis crew cab truck. The cab/chassis trucks have 15,000-19,000 GVWR and 11,000-14,000 RGAWR. Plenty of weight carrying capacity to carry the very heaviest campers ever made, and then some...

Five pages over some CYA boilerplate...
"This truck is not rated to carry a slide-in camper..."
All that means is that if Ford determines the truck broke because you were hauling a camper, they will deny you warranty coverage.
Weight is weight. The truck can't tell if it's got 5000lbs of gravel or 5000lbs of camper back there.

Why this guy need 19.5's with the excess capacity already provided with the OEM tires/rims ?
I've told my wife the truck ''needs'' 19.5s this summer too when the stock factory tires are worn enough to justify new tires
