I wonder what the actual empty rear axle weight is and how much is left from the 4800lb RAWR. I know my 12 Ram 2500 CTD 4x4 CC LB with only the B&W 5th hitch in the bed comes in around 2900-2950lbs or so. With a 6200lb RAWR that leaves me with 3300lbs for the rear axle. I would have no problem dropping 2500lbs of pin weight on it. Tires are good for 6830lbs combined.
Depending on what the empty rear axle weight is could help with some loads. Just depends on how you want to spin the numbers.
IIRC Ford F150s with the Heavy Duty payload package also had a 4800lb RAWR. Now with the new aluminum bodies they dropped that RAWR down. Lots of guys were getting the HD F150s for 5th wheels. Nissan may be okay, time will tell.
