Your looking at a heavy TW with those trailers although the jayco is about 150 lbs lighter..
The jayco is a 7500 gvw trailer... Comes in at 6000 lbs dry. Add all the stuff and propane and youll be up there..
I would look for something lighter unless you dont plan on towing it all over the place...
Plus when you put all the people and gear in the truck your tow rating goes down..
If you plan on towing with that truck to get the best idea of what you can really tow is to take the truck to a cat scale.. Fill the tank and put all the people and carg in it as you would go camping..
Compare those axle #'s weights with the axle weights on the door.. Simple subtraction.. This will tell you exactly what you can tow...
