So I can assume I have 2220 lbs available for me, the wife, all the coolers of beer, firewood, WD hitch and tongue weight from the trailer, correct?

Wait until the first guy on the forum posts up his door sticker on a 2018 3500HD Chevy that has the "optional" 10K GVWR sticker.
Oh boy, the pay-lo po-po gonna go nutz.... they'll break out their spreadsheets and come up with all sort of reasons why "it ain't enough truck". Uh huh. Chuckle, chuckle.
