Not a towing expert but my quick look at everything I think payload is a tad low.... the trailer weight I don't think sounds absurd to me.

So agreeing with others that tongue weight, weight of gear and people in truck etc is gonna be key.

Just as a reference point I have an XLT Powerboost and my payload is 1679lbs

Ok so I bought a 21 ft travel trailer. My truck is in the shop today getting the Falcon Tow/Haul adjustable shocks and also installing Roadmaster Active Suspension. Will end up with a 2 in front lift and the Roadmasters will raise the rear about an inch. Will be taking the trailer on a short test trip next week and will report back. I've heard numerous good reports on the RAS.

Update: The upgrade is amazing. No sway and bounce is almost non-existent. The front shocks actually raised my front end 2.5 inches. The Roadmasters raised the rear 1 in as advertised. That, along with the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss ATs, I am very happy.

With that payload, you'll have to be super careful about tongue weight and TT manufacturers are pretty notorious about understating them.

My actual, new, empty tongue weight, was around 300 lbs. heavier than published.

I've never seen that tongue scale before. How much does it cost?
I got it from etrailer. If I remember right like $80 about 4 years ago.
