Also my truck has a 4300 lb cargo capacity as well.

Our trip is next June so about this time next year I'll load it up and bring it to the scales.

Those weights sound more realistic - and that's good. Bad thing is if it has an almost 14k gvwr and you have 6k axles that will make for another issue to ponder (the sticker with you gvwr will have the axle info).

Mine has a gvwr a little higher than yours and came with the 6k axles. I could not accept those carrying that much weight across the likes of LA, I can't imagine doing AK and not expect something to break. I had Performance Trailer Braking replace the suspension and axles with Dexter 7k axles and 3500lb. spring packs after the first year which has given me much more peace of mind - something to think about.
