Really would like you to get safely into a 5er, due to better towing characteristics.
You estimated 450# for passengers, yet you have lost 729# from your sticker payload. What have you added to the TV since new that took the other 279#?
If SHort bed truck, have you considered a Andersen Ultimate hitch at 65#? You could also consider a Reese Goose Box pin box, then just a ball hitch in the bed 5# hitch weight.
