Default Towing Capabilities F350

We have a 2016 F350, 3:31, Super Cab, SRW
The specs say that the towing capability is 15,900 maximum
Our 5th wheel we're getting is dry weight of 15,000

Not much room for personal items, but my question is this:
What happens if the trailer (when we load it) is over 15,900?
Does it ruin the transmission? The truck suspension? Warranty ?????

Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark

I would check with the shop of the dealer you purchased from but looking into something like this may help you out. FC3Z19D520A (Additional information from Ford here: Hitch Kit - 26.5K 5th Wheel | The Official Site for Ford Accessories)(Can be purchased here: #FC3Z19D520A: Trailer Hitch)

Thanks. We decided to just turn in our SRW and purchase a DRW. Took a bit of a hit, but peace of mind is much better.
