2012 EB, tow package (not max tow), extended cab, 7200# GVW, 1486# payload, just my wife and I.
You're falling into the newbie trap of looking at tow capacity when the more important number is your payload (found on the yellow driver door post sticker.) You say super crew - how many people are you hauling? Bicycles? Firewood? With 4 people and bicycles you'll have little payload left for actual tongue weight.
The TT in my sig comes in at 6200# empty. I don't have the weight sheet with me but in camping configuration I'm 150# over on the rear axle. I air up the "P" tires to 40PSI when towing.
