Your maximum hitch weight would be the ACTUAL weight of the truck, loaded for towing, subtracted from the trucks GVWR (from the DOT Safety Plate mounted on your door post.) The trailers loaded hitch weight is almost ALWAYS a lot more than the empty weight listed on the brochure. The RANGE is 10% to 15% of the trailers ACTUAL weight. The SAFE way to estimate is to use 15% of the trailers GVWR (from the DOT safety plate mounted on the side of the trailer, usually near the front end). My suggestion is to take the trailers GVWR and use THAT to determine if it's towable with your truck. Nobody tows around an empty trailer so dry weight is useless. I DOUBT if you would have any problems with that combination but if you DID have any it would most likely come from the payload and how it relates to the tongue weight of the trailer. That's the number you want to keep track of.
Good luck / Skip
