Tongue weight will most likely be more in the range of 12% (6500/12%---780#)
500# for you, wife, 2 Labs------PLUS everything in trucks CAB (door pockets, seat pockets, floor, under seat etc) plus hitch (then tongue weight)
You will be very close.
Best is to load truck up 'camp ready' and get weighed.
Payload, RAWR, Rear Tire Max Load Rating will be the limiting factors.
But with 'camp ready' weights of truck you will be in a better position to do the needed math.
More informed.....better decisions
