what is meant by rawr? i think you are talking about hitch pin wt and i looked the model up and is 1220 lbs
so i looked up the pickup and the payload is 2220 lbs so if i am correct the hitch wt is 1220lbs and the reciever is 200 which would be about 1420 lbs which is with in the mfger's wt of 2220 lbs, so is there something i am missing?
Yes, you are missing the fact that the 1220 lbs is empty pin weight, and all your storage is in the front of a fifth wheel. I would bet you will be closer to 2000lbs when loaded.
Also, your payload of 2220lbs has to include everything you add into the truck, including occupants. Do you plan on carrying anything else in the bed of the truck besides the hitch? Firewood maybe?
