Towing with my F150

Towing with my F150
So I have a 2019 F150 Sport 4WD SuperCrew with short bed and V6 3.5l ecoboost with Max trailer tow package. Can anyone help me with what my truck can tow. the dealer said 13,200 but that is not correct as I read that requires 20”wheels and tires, I have 18”. I look online, it gives different towing capacity, I run my VIN and it shows something completely different. I just bought a 33’ trailer, dry weight is 6,800 max weight loaded is like 9,000lbs. Am I okay?

Okie doke so here is what Ford says for max GCWR based on wheelbase, didnt ask for that earlier, my bad. These numbers are for the crew cab, I assume thats what you meant when you said super crew cab, which is not a cab configuration from Ford. FYI super crew has suicide doors for the half size backseat, crew cab has four full size doors and seats.
Wheelbase - 145 inches
16,100 pounds
18,100 pounds - See note #1
Wheelbase - 157 inches
16,100 pounds
18,400 pounds - See note #1
Note #1 - This GCWR only applies to the Max. Duty Trailer Tow Pkg. - Class IV receiver hitch. Optional on 3.5L GTDI Heavy Frame Crew Cabs only.

I've been trying to find out the same thing. I have a new 2020 with max tow package. 3.5 eco-boost, 20 in. wheels, 5.5 ft bed, 3.55 axle. I am looking at towing a 5th wheel trailer. The one I have in mind has a 7,775 dry weight with a 1,735 hitch weight. My dealer says I am fine, but I am always leary. Does anyone have a word of wisdom on this? Thanks!

Configuration
Supercrew 4x4. It has the max tow package as well
I meant to say Crew Cab with 145 in. Wheelbase. I have purchased a slider hitch. The fifth wheel I am considering has a dry weight of 7775 lb and pin weight of 1735 lb. Am I safe?

16,100 pounds
Or
18,100 pounds - This GCWR only applies to the Max. Duty Trailer Tow Pkg. - Class IV receiver hitch. Optional on 3.5L GTDI Heavy Frame Crew Cabs only.
Can you fit a 5th wheel in a 5.5 foot bed? This would depend on how far the trailer extends past the king pin. I would assume that to have enough room for the trailer not to hit the cab when turned sharply, (most likely when backing up) that the fifth wheel would not be able to sit on top of the axle but rather be farther back in the bed.
