I agree and while wt. wise you might be just O.K. it still amazes and confounds me why folks but these lighter vehicles with all the passenger carrying ability and a bed to carry around "STUFF" and then buy a TT that basically takes away most of what they bought the TV for in the first place because now they have to worry about and watch the weights of passengers and tow with an "EMPTY" and not useless bed in their truck because of GVWR limitations. IMO if you can't hook up your TT and then throw in that firewood, generator, extra fuel/water, bikes/coolers etc. in the bed of the truck and also carry an adult in each seating area of the TV and their cargo w/o worrying about weights and the TV GVWR or AWRs then you have too little TV for the TT you are looking at. That logic just escapes me.
With a very few exceptions IMO these lighter 1/2T vehicles are fine for everyday use and for recreational boats, snowmobile, utility type towing, but really are a mis match for anything, but the really smaller ultra light weight full profile or popup trailers. In fact I'm in the camp of simply skipping the 3/4 and going to the BIG BOY from the get go with the only real decision is whether a dually is a good idea or really bordering on overkill.
I like to enjoy towing and still having circulation in my knuckles after getting to my destination.
