To the OP, welcome to having the RV net weight police descend upon your parade like a ton of bricks ( pardon the pun ). Before you panic and run out and trade the 1500 on a new one ton dually, take your truck to the scales and get some real world weights. Compare them to the door sticker, paying particular attention to rear axle actual weight, vs capacity.
A lot of innernut keyboard experts out there....
That's pretty disingenuous to even bring up the old, worn out "weight police" nonsense when the OP himself asked in his original post -
"Is there anything else that anyone thinks that I may not be considering?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions."
Well as a matter of fact I did think there was something the OP wasn't considering - this trailer he's talking about is WAY beyond the capabilities of his 1/2 ton Silverado ... and I'm speaking from the position of owning the same truck and having towed with several variations of it since 2006. Hey, the OP can do whatever he chooses but he asked for comment on his plans. :S
