Jbird, you want to look at this sticker..
I think you already have if you say you have "#1637" payload??
Anyway, forget the "tow ratings"... They assume a bone stock truck (ie, not what your truck is) and that you don't carry any passengers or stuff in the bed..
With that said, look for trailers in the #6000-#6500 GVWR range and you will be okay for the most part and can load whatever you want in it..
If you look at trailers with #6000-#6500 DRY WEIGHTS, you will have to limit what you pack and it won't be an enjoyable tow IMO..
I'm towing a #5000 GVWR TT with my F150 and I can tell it's there... So, those that say they "don't even know it's there" is full of it! ;)
You are wise to do this checking first! :) Don't fall for the hype of the tow ratings and the trailers dry weights and "half ton towable" claims... You might get a great trailer, but it might not be that much fun to tow...
There are lots of trailers out there.. For a family of 5 "to have their own space" in an RV is asking a lot!! Not really gonna happen with anything less than a 30+ foot rig and even the lightest of them will push the limits on your truck.. Well, as long as if you want to stay UNDER the trucks weight limits... ;)
You can move just about any trailer you care to hitch up... It's what and how much over the trucks OTHER ratings you are willing to overlook.. ;)
Good luck and have fun in the search!
Mitch
