Good Grief Guys! Can we just start over?
Welcome to the forum roaming_free. You will find a wealth of knowledge here. However, it took three pages to get to payload. There is a yellow sticker on your driver door pillar that will look like this

What I have circled is the remaining weight that can be added to the vehicle before you reach GVWR, referred to as payload limit. What is the value on your sticker?
What is the length of the trailer you want to tow? A long heavy trailer may be too much tail for your truck which will lead to sway issues.
Regardless what trailer you buy consider installing a set of Timbrems on you rear axle. They will help stabilize and level your truck.
My opinion is you will discover this is too much trailer for your truck but let's work through it to find out.
