1200# isn't much in todays world and wouldn't be enough to haul most trailers in the 6-7k # range. You need at least 1700# to pull that much. My Sierra 1500 had a payload of over 1700# with a gross weight of 7200# and I was maxed out on gross hauling my 7500# Winnebago with just myself and wife as passengers and a few hundred pounds in the truck body. If your trailer has a tongue weight of 1000# and your truck needs at least 1800# payload in order to fit passengers/fluids/etc...
1000 lbs of tongue weight and 200 lbs driver, what's the other 600 lbs for?
