You should be on the Ford 450 chassis. If so the max coach weight is 14,500 lbs and the max combined weight is 22,000 lbs. So, with a 8,000 lb hitch (which you should check what hitch you have), you could safety tow 7,500 lbs with no drop. If the drop gets much over 2 inches, it will seriously degrade the hitch's capability.
