At 7500 pounds loaded, a TT will have about 1000 pounds of tongue weight. That's the receiver limit when using a weight distributing hitch. If you have 1500 pounds of payload and 1000 pounds of TW, does your family of 4 plus friends weight less than 500 pounds? These are some limits you need to keep in mind. Check your driver's door for the Tire and Loading sticker and note what it has listed for max combined weight of occupants and cargo.
