Should have added that. My apologies.
I do have airbags and new brakes, though nothing special. I can always upgrade if it makes sense.

Pin weight is between 13 and 15% loaded so unless you drive the truck by yourself and weigh less than 100lbs you'll be over your payload of 1452lbs.

It's going to be close. Agree with above weight doesn't leave you with much room. That hitch weight is no what it really is, mine said 798 but actual weight was closer to 1200. And yes I'm over on my weight. If I recall your truck comes with a rear sway bar, but not a beefed up one. I'd get a thicker one. If you go to my build in signature below you'll see what I have and I got drilled for getting this TT. I'm still working on adjusting WDH and weight distribution good luck

Tried to post something earlier but must go thru admin. First. I'm in the same incrument as you with a 1/2 ton. Don't go by the hitch weight on the paper. Mine said 698 but the actual was closer to 1200....yes 1200 and that was with only propane tanks. Had them weigh it right there before I took delivery. If I recall your truck has a rear sway bar but is small (factory), I would put a more stout one on. Not sure about your shocks but would upgrade those also. I've got E tires also it helps. Go to my signature below and check my build for more info. I do have a thread in a different web site where I got drilled about buying what I got (TT) but I do agree with peter above, nothing in the truck hardly and keep that 10%~15% hitch weight.

Thanks all. Seems like the purchase will have to wait for a new truck. Bummer deal but such is life.
