You don't need to worry about the weight of the Dodge yet.
The number you need is the weight of the trailer PLUS the weight of the Bronco. Now position the Bronco on the trailer so the the tongue weight (not hooked up to the truck; just by itself) is 10-15 percent of the total.
That number has to be LESS than the max rating of the Torklift hitch.
The weight of the Dodge will come into play when you add the weight of the truck, camper, trailer, Bronco, kids, dog, beer, etc and compare that to the GCWR (Gross Combined Weight Rating) of the Dodge.
