[QUOTE="RX1Cobra, post: 16037456, member: 139306"] That's not how towing works. You have two limits when towing. The weight limit of the trailer or when you hit your payload limit. You stop at whichever you hit first and it's almost always payload. When you look at payload you have to factor in the tongue weight of the trailer, the weight distributing hitch (over 5K pounds you should use one), any accessories you added and the weight of the passengers. For a 7K pound trailer you're looking at 900+ pounds of tongue weight, plus 150 for the hitch and you've already used up 1050 pounds of your payload. If your payload is 1550 you only have 500 pounds left. Two guys, a few tools and bed cover can easily hit that. That's how you hit the recommended towing limit well before the max trailer weight. And why payload is more important than anything. [/QUOTE]
