Have you actually weighed your 1500 loaded ready to travel?
Funny you should ask, on the other page I have open I am searching for a scale near me!
Edit. Got to the scale. With the kids, me, and the dogs, 3/4 tank fuel (wife is at work so added 120 to scale weight...if she asks say I added 105 :W)plus some random stuff I threw in from the garage (bin of snowboarding clothes that just came out of the back from our Tahoe trip yesterday, a bag full of baseball gear that usually is always with us, and a case of water)and the truck was 6100 lbs. GVWR is 7200 and Rear GAWR is 3950. So I have 1100 lbs. to play with. Figure hitch weight (dry is 550 according to sticker on TT) should be closer to 900 lbs. if the trailer weighs 7000 (loaded correctly)from what I have read. The Trailer has the payload to handle more than we would load it with so not having stuff in the truck besides us and maybe a little bit is an option right?
