Just for comparison sake.
My 99 2wd V10 Gasser Crew Cab XL (no options but AC) weighs 7600 lbs scaled with a full tank of gas and a 500 lbs of people.
My truck has a GVWR of 11,200 lbs
Meaning that I have an available payload of 3600 lbs.
I think you need to scale your truck and find out where you really stand.
Thanks!
Then if one uses the total of the axels, 13500 less 7600 is around 6000 lbs of payload! if one really balances themselves out! Potentially, one has enough truck!
I would ask, which trans? the 5 sp torqueflight, go for it! the 4 sp auto.......oh dear oh me oh my! If it is rebuilt to some MUCH stronger specs you may do ok. But that is a much worst tranny to tow with vs the 5 sp torqueflights, or the manual option. First will be too tall for that total load on some grades, you will tear the trans apart, or overheat to death......... The rest of the truck will not have issues.
