Low Payload is what is going to hamper you
Take truck loaded up 'camp ready' (You, fuel, ALL Passengers, backpacks, stuff seats/in floorboards, stuff in bed of truck etc) and go to a Weigh Scale and get weighed.
Actual weight of camp ready truck subtracted for trucks GVWR will give you how much more weigh you can ADD to truck (tongue weight of trailer........10/15% of trailer GVWR)
Looks like you will run out of payload........
What payload is listed on the Tire and Loading Information Sticker (Yellow)
Your 2012 White Hawk has a GVWR of 7200# and probably is maxing out your payload
EX:2015 F150 Supercrew 3.5EB
