Most haulers we've seen have a GVWR of 13,000lbs, and a tongue weight of about 1400 pounds. What safety and legal concerns do we face relative to weight limits. Sorry if this sounds sketchy, but I'm a bit concerned about being across the country, and have my rig impounded, and me in jail.
I'll get the truck weighed today, as a start?
This is one time you need to also look at the Dry weight of the TH or the Payload. Typically TH have substantial payloads, you 250# of RC planes will not make a dent in that.
Tongue weight is something you will need to look at, make sure your hitch is rated high enough for the tongue.
Depending on if TV is gas or diesel you should actually be within weights, diesel might be tight.
