................ Once you load up your family in the truck, you will find that you have little left to tow this kind of toy hauler with a 1500.
FWIW: I was at my 12.5K lb receiver limits when I towed a Weekend Warrior FB2200 with a larger truck.
It is NOT a typical 1/2 ton.
That being said the OP should heed the comments about tongue weight etc.
I don't recall seeing which WW he is planning to tow, so we don't know the actual weights.
Let's see if he comes back with more data.
