The DOT comments below are certainly worth looking into if you are subject to those requirements. You are not using it very much. If you see you are going to go to heavier loads in the future, it might be worth while considering the bigger trailer, and you can upgrade your truck down the road a few years from now. I would certainly prefer the 5th wheel over the bumper hitch. My FIL has a pre-2000 F-150 with the 5.4 V8 engine. He has certainly used that truck with heavier loads than what you are talking. The one in particular I think of is a 500+ mile trip with a heavy duty 5th wheel equipped with tandem axles and dual wheels on each hub. He hauled a tractor he found in another state. When he started restoring the tractor, he discovered just how truly heavy it was because not only did it have 12-100 lb. wheel weights on a tractor already weighing in at around 9000 lb., but it also had 2700 lb. of fluid in the rear tires, too. Close to 300k on the truck and automatic transmission, but on the 3rd engine as the 5.4 V8 has been problematic for him, and I think that has been the case for others, too.
