I will be sure to post up my towing experience and cat scales for all that are interested. 16,700 GCWR 17xx payload, I forgot the exact sticker number. 7200 GVWR, although in '15 the max tow pkg trucks went to 7600 with no mechanical differences between the two years. I don't believe I'll be over axle weight ratings, but I will be + 200lbs over GVWR if you use the 7200 rating, under if you use the 7600. + 100-200 over payload and about 1200 over GCWR,assuming a 10,500 trailer. Conservative estimates, but I'll get you all cat scale weights since that's the only thing that carries any weight around here. See what I did there?
Besides telling me that my tow vehicle is inadequate and/or not up to the task or directing me to trade it in for a 3/4 ton asap, I'd like to hear from some others who own an LT series Open Range, some of the issues they have had fixed or resolved since purchase and possibly some things I should ensure to have the PDI cover besides the usual.
APT: You're truck seems more capable than mine, especially with the LT tires. I have LT tires coming soon, as well.
