Fortunately the bikes are folding bikes and can fit in the aft cargo bay further reducing tongue weight. I'll load it with the bikes in the bed initially and get weighed. The suspension will error out if I overload too much. I think I'll be good. I'm pretty sure I can avoid buying a 2500 since my Infiniti towed this beautifully.
If you're concerned about staying under limits, every modification help.
Put as much gear in the trailer as you can, only passengers in the truck. Then remove the tailgate and put the spare in the trailer - those 2 items alone can be 150 lbs, and more importantly, 150+ lbs off the rear axle.
Can even go as far as relocating the propane tanks and batteries to the middle of the trailer. But be careful, as you reduce tongue, you'll want a better anti-sway system.
