my trailers brochure weight is 6400 lbs and loaded and ready to camping for my family of 4, it weighs in at a whopping 7400 lbs. that includes propane, battery, food, toys, everything that we need for a typical camping trip.
I've had my truck and trailer at the CAT scales as well and I have 600lbs of payload left after tongue weight and being loaded for camping. I would say that is plenty of headroom for any of the weight police.
my F150 tows my 7200lbs loaded trailer perfectly fine. no white knuckles, no tail wagging the dog. would it tow better with a 1 ton? probably. but it would cost me an additional $20k for the 1 ton diesel not including the higher maintenance cost.
