If your hitch weight is 700 on a 76-7700lb TT then your too low. Needs to be at a min 10%, which is 760-770. Should be closer to 12% for optimum balance. 12% of 7600 is 912lbs. Average Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn payload is in the 1200-1230lb range. 1200lbs - 900lb for TW and you only have 300lbs left. Even if you went with the 760-770lb 10% min TW you would only have 430lbs for passengers and cargo in the truck. Those are the reasons why everyone is saying you'll be over payload capacity. Just curious, have you ever weighed you TT?
It was weighed when I took it to get it setup for storage before leaving. It was right at 6725 with no fluids and little personal items in it.
