The discussion is, how much payload you need to haul a trailer with 1000 lbs of tongue weight. And the answer isn't 1800 lbs(as I have repeatedly shown you).

It would be very easy to have less than 1,000 pounds of available payload after adding people and "stuff" to a vehicle that started out with a 1,800 pound rating. Topper, four people, generator, firewood, and a couple of toolboxes could put you well under 1,000 pounds of available payload. It is all about spending ten bucks at the scales for me to know for sure.

So your answer is what?

You have to absolutely have 1800 lbs of payload (I think that is the definitive statement questioned above)?

Or - it depends, maybe 1200 lbs of payload will be enough? Depends on what your putting in the truck (if anything).

Or it you may even need 2200 lbs of payload. But I'm in agreement, you can haul a lot of 6K to 7K TT's (passengers and cargo included) with way less then 1800 lbs of payload.
