Welcome to the forum

The pin weight shown by Keystone is before battery(s) and propane. NO ONE tows with the front compartment empty, so you need to add that to the equation. Since you weighed your truck, it’s safe to say your going to be over by more than you think, and will probably be over the rear axle rating too.

It’s up to you, are you comfortable knowing your overweight? The commercial driver that moved your trailer probably knew he was over but figured he wouldn’t be stopped or gave to stop at any scales on the way. I’m sure others will chime in…my personal choice would be if you really like the trailer then get a more capable truck.
