Like many have stated you will likely exceed the factory numbers...but by how much is up to you. You will be loading it, and as a professional driver you know about load management, and distribution. I am always amazed by some of the exorbitant tongue/pin weights people produce...maybe they are bringing their bowling ball collection with them. I would say use your best judgement...go for it. If it doesn't live up to your expectations, there are lots full of new trucks:)
Ya, that's probably my best approach at this. We travel fairly light, just the wife, myself, and a 10lb dog. We don't bring much more than clothes, a few camping items, and food. I guess if it comes down to it, upgrade to a 3/4 ton.
