Fill up with gas, load the family, and weigh the truck. Subtract the weight from GVWR and that's your available payload. Figure you're loaded trailer will be at least 1000 pounds over the dry weight and the tongue weight will be about 13 percent of that. Just keep the tongue weight below your available payload.
This is the best reply I've seen in the thread. I also wonder if the "Payload Capacity 1446lbs" cited by the OP is from the Yellow Sticker. If so, I'd basically suggest he stay with a trailer that doesn't weigh over 7,000 lbs loaded. And lighter would be better.
