The 2020 Supra SE550 is a heavy girl!
Rolled over the CAT scale this past weekend and was surprised by the total weight. This includes 800 lbs of lead (best guess as I can’t remember how many bags I loaded) and a 7/8 full gas tank. I am guessing that tongue weights is easily 600lbs placing total weight just below 10k lbs. She may need a diet for road trips.
The tow vehicle was a Ram 3500 dually. She is heavy too.

A) no unless it's a ford. their hitches, although class IV, are only rated to tow a canoe with a go-pro. chevy/dodge no problem if your mechanic is on speed dial.
A.2) toyota/nissan? wait? do they make full size trucks??
B) I usually always keep 2 nickels on the boat for backing up. will that fit within the capacity plate?
C) people, gas, water, snacks and beer. what else is missing.

The 2020 Supra SE550 is a heavy girl!
Puts it around 720# and your 2018 F150 factory hitch is only rated for 500# tongue and 5000# trailer weight and you are over 7000#
I had to upgrade my 2018 F150 hitch to tow my SA.

Thanks for the info. I'll look into that ASAP. Did'nt occur to me the hitch itself was rated separate from truck from the factory. The truck itself has the max tow package rated for 13k# towing capacity and 3500# load on bed. Dangit, that's another chunk of change in upgrade!
Can u give me some info on your trailer hitch upgrade, brand, where purchased?Last edited by Isaguel; 06-16-2020 at 08:11 AM.

This is what I am using.

Easy install, only issue is you have a double hitch as this fits around the factory hitch. I put a hitch plug in the factory one and you can hardly tell, I do get the “why do you have two hitches” question once in awhile.
I use a 2” drop draw bar upside down to lift ball position to get trailer between 0 to -1 degrees.
I was between 2” or 3” drop flipped upside down. Either would work.
The factory hitch is part of the rear bumper support.
Other option is this hitch, you would have to order the Ford bumper support without the factory hitch option and swap them first, then use this hitch OR cut off the hitch receiver box of your factory hitch.

Moombas are light enough and right at the limit to get away with factory hitch, but Supras exceed the factory hitch by nearly 50%.
