X2, the optimal tongue weight for stable towing of a TT should be around 13 percent. You're tongue weight should be around 1100 lbs with a 7800 lb TT. If it is under 800 as you claim, then the trailer weight is proportioned wrong or you have too much loaded in the rear. You should take it to a scale all loaded for camping with family and all gear in the truck. This will give you a better idea on your weights.
In my opinion, a 3/4 ton truck is much better suited to tow a TT over 6500 gvwr. You can get by with a half ton but they just aren't designed for that kind of load.
