BTW don’t let the weight cops scare you too much about the “low payload”. It’s a common theme on here, but with a wdh and/or one of the many available easy suspension mods, the axle and the rest of the truck will do fine with it.

Easy for you to say but are you going to be there later to help explain what's going on when the OP does run out of payload capacity when so much of it is being used up by trailer tongue weight, leaving little remaining for passengers and cargo in the truck bed? Heck, we don't even know what that passenger & cargo load will be. Good grief, the OP like anyone else needs to run the numbers first and ignore terrible "no problem" advice like yours. :R

You’re correct, he could be wanting to haul a cord of firewood to camp and have 3 - 300lb kids in the backseat. Or he could be a normal dude with basic math skills and able to identify and decide, within reason, how much he is or can or is comfortable carrying.
And FWIW the “numbers” get run on here daily almost ad nauseum for similar setups. So pretty easy to figure out. Since the OP didn’t ask about payload capacity, but rather a gut check on 2 very similar trucks I surmised he wasn’t after the payload advice although I’ll admit my response would summon the number crunchers. I should have left that part off. Apologies.
OP, nice truck!
