Our truck is rated to tow 8000 but I don't want to max it out

Tow ratings and payload for the tongue weight, passengers and stuff are two different things. An 8,000 lb. GVWR trailer loaded could put 900 lbs. of tongue weight on the tow vehicle. I towed a 7,200 lb. travel trailer with a 1/2-ton Tahoe (well within the Tahoe's tow and payload ratings). The TV sat level with a good WD hitch, but the trailer was still too much for the Tahoe in the mountains and on bad roads.
