I think it’ll be close by the numbers, but you’ve got enough truck. 3.92 gears means you’ve got plenty of tow power no concern there. Payload is your limiting factor.Hello all,

Can you help me know if I have enough truck?
Also quick question which tires did your truck come with? If you’ve got the Bridgestone Duelers you’ll want to upgrade those since they’re not an XL rated tireI’ll be towing it with my family, total weight of all 4 of us in the truck is about 450 pounds, including the electronics and inevitable snacks we’ll bring.
As we’ll, I’ll be using a ProPride hitch.
That's for that individual tire. So two could be put on an axle rated for 4800. You have a built in margin to allow for uneven loading.My truck does have the Duelers. I looked them up and they are rated for 2400lbs. Isn’t that each tire? Or is that spread out across the axel? Since the axel is rated at 4100 lbs ( rear ) doesn’t that include the spec of the OE tire? Or is that not correct?

How much stuff are you going to take with you? I think you're going to end up over payload when you're loaded and hitched up. Under the best circumstances, you're still going to be close.Hello all,

Nice Setup!Don’t listen to any naysayers on this one. You have enough truck. Speaking from experience if you leave the truck bed empty you will have zero issues. My payload is 1444 and we travel with a family of four plus snacks and electronics as well, bikes over tonneau cover on a custom rack. With a properly setup hitch this is easy. Btw my trailer is scaled at 7600lbs +\- 100lbs, 33’ long(same layout as yours but with a couch on the slide with the dinette) with hitch weight at just under 900lbs. I use a blue ox WDH that is 100lbs and I am under GVWR.

By the numbers you are correct but as @IvoryHemi said, since the tires are SL they have a softer sidewall ( better ride of course ) which means they’ll squish a lot in corners or in any sway situation, which makes sway worse. You don’t need to worry so much about blowouts or anything like that, just sway control. You cold tow the camper on the Duelers but I would recommend getting nicer tires, even with that awesome 3P hitch you’ll still want the XL tires. You’ve got enough truck, there’s lots of people on here that’ll say otherwise but unless they start talking numbers you can just ignore themMy truck does have the Duelers.

Yeah, that’s a great setup! I ended up with the Blue Ox Hitch instead of the 3P. I’m hoping I won’t regret it. I bought the trailer today, so I’m excited. But now, I need to get new tires It seems.

Need 3 passes on the scale (in no particular order)To do that, I’ll tow the camper over to the scales, unhook there, weigh, then hook it up and reweigh just to make sure I’m within GVWR and GCWR as well as to ensure I have the WD hitch setup to put enough back onto the front axel. Is that about right?
Make sure the truck and camper are loaded up how you'd be towing. People, cargo, full tank, etc.Yeah, that’s a great setup! I ended up with the Blue Ox Hitch instead of the 3P.

With a properly setup hitch and good tires, I should be in good shape. Once I get it dialed in, my first stop will be the scales To ensure, everything is good.

Yeah, good point. Family road trip…to the scales!!1 lolMake sure the truck and camper are loaded up how you'd be towing. People, cargo, full tank, etc.
Lol yeah, a good idea might be to pick your first trip as something close, then find a scale on the way. CAT has an app for locating and using the scales so you don’t even have to go inside and pay. When I stop at the scales I’m usually done in about a minute or lessYeah, good point. Family road trip…to the scales!!1 lol
Oh yeah, they’re not really expensive for what they do, or difficult to install. I love my Airlift 1000HD bagsSpend the 100ish buck and grab yourself a set of the airlift helper bags. They make a huge difference in keeping the truck level
