I tow a Cougar XLite 27RKS that weighs about 9100 pounds when ready to camp. The specs on it are Dry Weight: 7136, CCC: 2864, Empty pin: 1230. When ready to camp, the pin is much closer to 1800 pounds and my truck is "at it's max" GVW. I have never felt that there was a lack of power, or a need to worry about towing. But, if I tried to tow a trailer that was any larger than what I have, there's no way I could keep my truck under the GVW. Possibly I could "convince myself" that I was OK by saying I was under the RAWR or that my tires were not overloaded or ????? But no way possible to tow my 10,000 pound GVW trailer with my 10,000 pound GVW truck and not be "at the brink" of GVW.

I'll go out on a limb here and say that there's no way you can stay under your GVW with either of those trailers. Not with your current truck.
