I believe the payload on the truck is 4,105. I am unable to locate the pin weight of the FW.
A 3500 SRW will come up short on the ability to carry the trailers pin weight which may be close to 4k-4.5k lbs....... a 200 lb hitch......100 lbs of gear in the truck....4 people in the truck which may be close to 600 lbs. Add it all up = around 5400 lbs.
A 3500 SRW GM truck rear axle that carries all the load has a 7050 RAWR and can weigh in the 3500 lbs range when empty. This leaves the truck with around 3500 lbs before exceeding rear suspension/wheels and tire ratings.
The truck will be overloaded with that size trailer.
That size trailer needs a new gen one ton DRW or a 450/4500 cab and chassis with a custom haulers bed.
The 4xxx payload is a gvwr based payload ......which means the load will need to be placed over the trucks front and rear axles.
