If I'm reading correctly, the TC's dry wt is 2200 lbs. Add another 800 for "stuff" and you'll be over by a lot more than 200 lbs. Typically, you cannot trust the weight written on the TC...it's usually more! It must be weighed to find out actual wts. There are some very interesting past posts where folks have been surprised on their wts. You cannot just guess or round up. Not safely anyway.
When we researched TCs, were learned so much about wts. We had a 3500 SRW and found it wouldn't handle the TCs that we wanted. We would have had to add a lot of expensive mods. We went up to a DRW. No mods, and we feel safer. You may find you need to go to a bigger truck or a smaller TC. It's an expensive lessen to buy before researching carefully.
I don't mean to be a downer, but TCs are a whole different animal. TCs are "payload", not pulling capability. BTW, you have add that in too if you plan to pull a trailer or boat, etc.
