Thank you all for responding. I am of the school of bigger is not necessarily better so I thought limiting the TV and adjusting the trailer weight to fit appropriate. Now, we don't want a R Pod either so my thoughts were exactally as another stated on here, 500 hitch wt and 5000lb trailer max. and no 5ers. I have not been to the scales as yet but that will tell me alot more once I do.
Just so you will know. MANY TTs are light enough for that truck. And not just little ones either. My 30' TT weighs in at a little under 6000lbs. TTs now come with a Yellow sticker. Usually on the door. It tells you exactly what the TT weighs sitting on the lot in front of you. With every thing you see on it. Just add 1000lbs to that, and you will be real close to what it will weigh loaded.
Go to shows, and go to RV dealer lots. Take your time, and pick one you can tow. Mine weighed 4811lbs on the lot. Now it weighs 5700lbs give or take 100lbs (depending on where it is going)ready to camp.
