FR aren't lying about their weights being very accurate from the factory. My current rig was within 100# of their scaled weight after adding batteries and filling the propane tanks. They also have lower tongue and pin weights than many other brands due to axle placement. This is what got me started looking into XLR in the first place. Most brands with the same floor plan as mine were over 1k more on the pin and I didn't want the truck required for that. Your water tanks are likely directly over the axles as are most toy haulers so that should be a negative impact. Garage weight will also mitigate tongue weight as some pointed out. Also, filling the 40 gallon fuel station will help remove some tongue weight. As to the bottom line, I would agree with the couple of posters that told you that yes, your truck will likely do it but will be taxed and you MAY not be happy. If it were me, I'd try it before upgrading the truck. You're not grossly overweight and may not feel the need to upgrade your truck right away. However, if you truly uncomfortable and want to walk, most states make it illegal to keep a deposit on an in stock vehicle.
