I was thinking the same thing

Safe Towing Weight.
I have grossed 37,000 with my 85 6.9na 4spd almost everyday this week. Dual trailers loaded with scrap iron. 30ft GN and 30ft FB. Had to buy the permit that allows me to go up to 95ft long, 15ft wide, 15ft tall, and 46,000 lbs. It was a turtles pace at 45-50 the whole 80 miles with hills and what not.
It would be a 30' tag trailer with a dry weight of about 7000 lbs. I pulled it with my 95 dodge 3/4 ton diesel couple years ago. No problems.
7000 you shouldn't have any trouble with with a good hitch setup. That is well within the comfort range
And Also what is the n/a idi I keep seeing on here? I'm new to fords.
What do you mean by a good hitch? I'm new ish to the techy part of towing.

i hope you get fined up the ass before you kill someone rather than after.
My guess is you didn't look at his location. The weight means little, it's the number of braking axles and the tire loading. All day long, I run a big rig at 132,000 lbs. on two lane roads (speed limit of 70 MPH). Two trailers, 100 feet long, 11 axles. Been doing it for 5 years now and have killed only foolish deer. You can be sure that if Montana issued a permit, the unit was safe for the highway.
SIMP5782.. way to go! With an IDI! I'm impressed.
Rocky Mountain Doubles are where there is a 40 0r 45 foot trailer on the tractor, and a usually 28 foot pup behind that. The trailers I pull are both the same size, bottom dump hoppers. I haul coal from the mine to the power plant here in town. 5 trips a day, 323 miles. No interstate, 25 miles of gravel, 20 miles off road, the rest two lane twisty, hilly East Montana terrain. The trucks run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
My regular assigned truck, a 2009 Kenworth has 461,000 miles on it. Our 2011s have over 150,000. They don't sit around!
