Thanks everyone for all the replies, I suspected the trailer was near the top end for weight but was not sure just how close. In the end, I am just not interested in being that close to the limit for a multitude of reasons, safety being one of them!!! I am sure there are lighter bunkhouse trailers with walk around beds out there.....I will just have to find the make and model. Besides, we currently have a 2 year old trailer we've owned since new that, with the exception we would like more room in the bedroom, works for us. It is also significantly lighter (half the weight) to the point I dont even know it's there while towing.....outside the fact that it's 37 feet long.
What would you suggest would be a comfortable max weight limit? Basically, I don't want the truck to struggle when towing....I really hate it when it slows down and needs a lower gear got a light to moderate hill.

As Russ is saying your 17" rear tires are an issue. So given that you do not care about rules and deleted your truck
Thanks for assuming that however, it's not at all that I "don't care about rules". Where I live, there are no "rules" around deleting your truck nor do we have any type of emissions testing so why would I keep choking my engine for no reason? The decision to delete came when my DPF was full. I was told it would be 5500 to replace it and that would occur every three to four years or I could pay 4200 to get rid of it forever.....best decision I ever made, its a totally new truck now!!!!! Unless it is still under warranty, you are hard pressed to find a "non-deleted" truck here.
