Yes that is the correct engine size of my truck. I just checked and my payload is around 1640, not 1990. Sorry. I just want to make sure what weight range to look at for a camper. I’m looking in the 27 to 31 feet range for length. I’ve seen a bunch of dry weight trailers in the 5500 lb range and want to make sure I shouldn’t have too many issues, as long as I’m not over loading cargo in the trailer and maxing out my payload. I believe my gvwr of truck is 6500 lbs.
