I can surely see how GrandpaKip's rig would work, but I have a feeling you (mr davis) are quoting dry weights ? ( you don't have the TT yet, right ? )
What I do to guesstimate real TT weights is take the gross weight and divide 12-15% of the gross as my TW. That will give you a better idea closer to a real rolling down the road weight than a mfg posted dry weight.
The best reliable advice that I can give you is to take 'your truck' to a scale and weight it with it loaded up with the normal stuff you would bring on a trip incl., people and pets etc . That way you will really know the real weight of 'your truck' all loaded and see your real payload.
Pay attention to your tires max load rating, thats usually a weak point but can certainly be beefed up and still be within your rear axle rating.
I looked quickly at the TT specs ( dry weights ) It makes us all guess what this model would really roll down the road at. This model might roll at 6500# with a TW in the 700=800# range depending how you pack it. I base that guess on other similar size TT's (floorplans) . If I am correct, you would probably need more truck or less trailer.
At the least , in order to make this TT work with your truck you might have to drain water, use one propane tank and one battery on the tongue.
