You can't get a real answer without knowing the payload rating (max weight of cargo and passengers should not exceed ______ lbs.) of your truck (see yellow sticker on door of your truck), and how much the passengers and cargo in the truck will actually weigh. Subtract that from the payload rating and the whatever is left over is the fully loaded trailer tongue weight.
All that is more fully explained here, from my first post Clicky
Not to be a dick, but had you read this clicky when first posted, you'd have the answers by now.
You can't go shopping until you know what your looking for (i.e.: what your truck is capable of towing).
No one on here knows the answers, only you know the weight of "your" passengers and cargo, and the payload rating of "your" truck. Everything else except "your" real numbers are just "guesses" by us.
Other than that, I'll answer your question - "I Guess you'll be fine, or maybe not"
I did read the clicky. I've been reading it and re-reading it...considering you all know more about this than I do, I'm seeking further clarification. That's pretty much a standard learning device...asking clarifying questions.
Thanks for your input.
