My loaded 2004.5 Silverado 3500 CC dually(LLY) with me alone, tools, but no other items for camping weighed 8500 lbs. That year, the GVWR of the truck was 11,500 lbs. I expect in 2003, the numbers wouldn’t have been better. That only left 3000 lbs for pin weight and I lost some of that when my wife, dog, and other camping items were added.

My 2016 Fuzion 414 reported a pin weight of just over 3500 lbs on the Keystone web site. I knew that was too close for comfort and was the reason I moved to the late model truck with a 14,000 lbs GVWR. It’s a good thing I did because after loading the Fuzion and taking to the scale, my pin weight is just over 4000 lbs. Your situation may differ but this should give you some ball park idea if the truck will work.

Edit: After checking the Keystone brochure, it lists the unloaded pin weight of the 405ts as 3785 lbs and the GVWR as 19000lbs. That unloaded pin is definitely over the payload capacity of my old truck. Once you load the truck and trailer I can’t see how you would not be in dangerous territory.
