Towing Capacity for New Travel Trailer
I am currently looking to purchase a new Travel Trailer. My current trailer, a Keystone Bullet 246RBS, has a dry wt of 4800lbs. I tow it with a 2013 Ram 1500, which is rated between 8400lbs and 9700lb...

You should have an idea from current trailer towing. If it tows that weight easily, adding 5' and 1,500 lbs should be doable, if adding the same gear/weight from old trailer to new.
Payload of truck, can be an issue with heavier tongue wt. Passengers, things in truck bed, plus added hitch wt, can make a soft suspended 1500 not handle very well.
Look at all truck numbers, GVWR, RAWR, payload sticker. The tow weight rating is more about engine/driveline.
