Thanks for that info. Looks like the sticker says 1180 payload from what I can read. That is very low and limits your selection of trailers to very small. From the payload you must deduct the weight of all family members, pets, gear, toys and any other thing that goes in the truck...including the water bottle . Add to that the weight of the wdh/sway control; say 125 lbs. and you have what? Maybe 5-600 lbs before you max out? Plus, IMO you need to leave at least a 10% safety cushion on weights that would give you a max of say 1000 lbs before you are "pushing your limits" with the truck. A diesel in a 1/2 ton sounds neat, and probably is for something, but not particularly for towing. JMO
