Trailer vs Tow Vehicle Weight...would I be OK?

The wife and I are looking for a new trailer with a bigger bedroom and I wanted to see what everyone's opinion on this combination was as, like most, the whole weight game kinda confuses me somewhat. ...

I have a 2015 Ram 2500 with CTD. My fiver has a 14K GVWR but my actual loaded weight (per CAT scales) is about 12,700# (unloaded 10,600#). I am well under the trucks RAWR. You are asking about a fiver with an unloaded weight of over 13K. Add 2K for hitch and stuff and you are over 15K loaded even fairly lightly loaded.

I would NOT do it. Too much weight for your truck IMHO. Good luck.
