Thanks for all of the replies.....
I do have the tires set lower...front is 50 and rear is 45 using the low pressure switch on the dash. I do have some back trouble and it still rides prey rough for me. I even tried 35 pounds in all for wheels just to see if that would make a difference, but apparently I am just feeling the suspension, as the ride stayed the same.
Also,I really screwed up by not buying four wheel drive.
I am concerned about the payload but it is just the two of us and all of out stuff is loaded in the trailer. I think the towering weight is ok since the trailer is about 8200 pounds loaded and the half ton rating is just over ten thousand pounds. So, I would be close to the limit on pay load, but as long as I keep things in line I would think it is ok.
I've seen lots of half tons pulling trailers heavier than mine and some even towing fifth wheels....doesn't mean they should, I know.
I'm in a real quandary here and all advice is sure appreciated....thanks
