Don't be surprised if those hitch weights nearly double after loading and getting the trailer to tow well. They are below 10% there which usually causes a stability problem with TTs.
I agree. If you have a family you are looking to load up in the crew cab, you'll be pushing the limits of that truck with either trailer. I'd double check the yellow loading sticker on the truck once it arrives to ensure you have enough payload to accommodate the tongue weight, occupants and gear in the truck. My TT is 6500 dry, but I was over my gvwr and gcwr of my 07 Sierra 1500 once I got it weighed with the trailer hooked up with the wdh. Thus the reason for my 2500. Stability was night and day difference between towing with the two trucks.
