Actual Hitch Weight vs Dry Hitch Weight
I'm currently looking at a lighter TT. I'm concerned with hitch weight right now on my Ram 1500. My towing capacity is fine (10,050lbs). I'm looking at TTs with a dry hitch weight between 515-600lbs. ...

With 1100 lbs payload a 1000 lb hitch weight + 75 for the hitch will put you over the GVWR for sure, unless you camp alone or the others come in a separate vehicle. I tried that game with my ram with 1015 payload, by the time the truck was loaded for camping including the hitch I had 300 lbs of room under the GVWR. Either we pack way differently or you are not being honest with yourself about your expectations of the truck. Do you have running boards or a box cover? Those count too, a socket set under the back seat, it adds up quick. How many people do you camp with?
