List the gross loaded weight of the trailers. That is about where the real trailer weigh will be. Figure up to 15% of that number as the true tongue weight. See my trailer below, loaded tongue weight was scaled at 920 lbs. I think the manual list dry tongue at 540 or close.
So if those trailers are anywhere near 900 lbs tongue weight minus that from your payload along with anything else you have added or carry in the truck. Then see what is left as a safety margin. If you have 'P'" rated tires on the truck they may not to up to the extra weight.
