Your truck specs for that Megacab are almost the same as my '07 3500 SRW.
I tow a 14K GVWR 5th wheel that scaled at 13,830#.
I was over the trucks GVWR (10,100#) right at rear tires max load ratings & RAWR
Truck/trailer combo was a pleasure to tow. No white knuckles, no tight cheeks, smooth comfortable smile on face towing.
Towed for 7 yrs. FT traveling every week to 2 weeks.
Yep...at (and slightly over) ratings..just the way the truck was meant to tow....loaded.
Your trailers GVWR is 12,475# which is less than what ours weighed loaded up.
You will be very close on all weight ratings of truck.
Ordering???
Get any suspension/axle/tire upgrades available on 5vr.
Enjoy the new trailer and go camping!
