You all helped me understand a lot through this thread. I looked up information and found the pin weight to be 2,067 lbs, GVWR is 14,067 lbs Length is 36'11" I am new to this so all of this is a learning curve, we used to be tenters and then pulled a TT. Thanks for all the info you can give me.

You need to look at the yellow load capacity sticker on your drivers door or door post. Trailer with a 14k GVWR is probably going to have a loaded pin weight of close to 2600lb, if you are loaded to 13K. Add in your 200lb hitch, occupants in the truck and you will end up with over 3000lbs payload. Don't think your truck has that capacity.

Do you want to exceed the GVWR of your truck? You still should be under your axle and tire ratings.

Oh the joys of a 3/4 ton.:)

. 2067 lb pin weight will go much higher if you canary water. Water is about 8 lbs/gallon. Also depends on how much cargo in the basement storage, bedroom. My pin weight is 3400 lbs, but we are full time and probably more stuff. Also, you have to add to the pin weight any cargo in the truck plus passengers weight. You're most likely going to be over the door post payload limit.
