No matter what you'll have minimum 1600 pounds pin weight. Which is going to push your trucks limits if you have more than driver and one passanger.

Don't understand you statement, if OP has 2838# of payload, and the pin is 1,600#, that leaves 1,238# for other stuff, that is a lot of other stuff.!
To the OP.
2006, should have a yellow payload sticker on the drivers door pillar, did you get the 2,838# form that sticker? Well if you did, you should be able to safely tow the 5er you have posted.
Russ, donn0128 has not been making any sense. It is best to just ignore his weight related posts.
The OP has what is a 3/4 ton truck, going by his numbers.

You know, it really is quite simple.
The 1500HD is a light duty 3/4 ton. Semi floating axles, smaller brakes, lower rated tires and wheels, weaker spring rates, weaker frame, etc.
That 2800 sticker number is for a bare bones no options truck with nothing on board. Add full tank of fuel, hitch couple of passengers plus the assundry junk people always tend to add and drive across the scales, the OP will be really lucky to have 1600 pounds of payload without exceeding his GVWR numbers. Of course he is more than welcome to ignore them. Its his privledge to do so. Your welcome to your opinions, just like I am. If you are offended by my posts, you are more than welcome to block my responses.
