Kind of pathetic if you ask me. Doesn't leave me any room after my wife and boy hop in the truck
I bet many people think they are well within their limits but aren't. My trailer it's even that heavy at all and I'm still going to be over the limits of my truck
If you knew you were going to buy that size of trailer you probably should've gone with a gasser 3/4 ton to give yourself some more reserve.
As you have painfully learned, tow capacity is only half of the equation! Payload will usually bite you first.
