From 2007 owner's manual: double cab, 5.7L, long bed, 4x2 drive is 1455, and 4x4 is 1365. Check your driver door post sticker, then weigh. If your 8200# is correct, you will be right at the GVWR with driver, passenger and not much else in the truck. Most likely fine on the GRAWR.
Mine handles an 8200# fifth wheel very nicely but I don't have the sway issues associated with a long TT. I'm slightly over the GVWR but under the GRAWR. Over 4 years and 10,000 miles towing this combo, mostly in Colorado mountains.
If your weights check out ok to your satisfaction, just learn to grin and nod your head a little at the naysayers. Drives 'em crazy.:D
