    It will be tight but I should be OK. The rear GAWR is 6780 lbs. I've weighed the truck with what will be in the truck when towing - me, full gas and DEF, fifth wheel hitch, 2000W inverter generator - and have about 3100 lbs available on the rear axle. I haven't weighed with the trailer yet but the specs for the trailer state a pin weight of 2710 so that leaves 400'ish lbs before I'm over on the rear axle. My wife will be driving her SUV and towing the tin boat so anything we pack can be distributed between 2 vehicles and 2 trailers. The trailer won't be jammed with stuff because I also have a max GCWR for my driver's licence that is several thousand pounds under the truck's GCWR. I'm not sure how much of the weight from all the stuff stored in the basement of the trailer makes it onto the rear axle but we won't be filling the bedroom with much of anything as I'm guessing all of that weight goes onto the rear axle. Right now I've got about 600 lbs of stuff slated to be stored in the basement and but about 250 of those pounds are the 2 house batteries, 2 12' Talons and a spare trolling motor.

    All that said, I will be putting everything on the scale in the next month or so and will adjust as required. I'd like to be a few hundred pounds under the max if I can and that's what I'm telling my wife as it's probably the only way I'll be able to keep her from packing the whole house (minus the winter clothing) into the trailer.....

    The numbers that I saw for a 4x4 SRW CC SB, showed 4850 on the front and 3475 rear (8325). This was with just driver, 3/4 fuel and the fifth wheel hitch. Rear axle rating was 7230 and gcwr was 11500. 11500-8325=3175. 3175+200 lb driver+140 lb hitch = about a 3515 payload. If yours isn't a 4x4 and/or CC the numbers will be higher. Add another passenger and a 100 lbs of stuff and you are down to the 2900 lb range.
