I believe Max Tow packages with a crew cab come in with a payload of around 1700. If you have an 8000 lb trailer and put 12.5% on the toungue that will be 1000 leaving you 700 for driver, passengers and gear. If you need more then you will want to look at Max payload which gives you another 500 lbs of payload. When truck shopping look at the sticker on the driver side door jamb. That will list the actual payload number for that rig based on the package and options.
Good luck to you,
