You are more than payload capacity in that. We have the same model and average about 1900 lb payload on the hitch combined.
Most SUV ARE NOT designed to haul this size trailer as they have soft suspensions, small alternators, wrong transmission ratios no mater what the claim as towing ability or capacity. Tahoe’s both 1/2 ton or 3/4 are one exception. To achieve that lovely ride in the SUV is counter to hailing a 6-8000 lb trailer. Just look on the road. It’s rare to see someone other than a truck pulling a medium to large trailer. That should tell you something.Donna and Dave

Thanks for the comments - those are helpful. While I think with the right WD and being careful with cargo weight etc etc, it would be okay, but being so close to the max is stressful and who needs that?

Here's one at 6220# on the sticker. https://www.trailerhitchrv.com/produ...0rb-1440166-29
You can view the options and if yours is the same then 6220#'s would be real close.
Most people add around 1,000 lbs to the trailer. 7220#'s.
7220 x 12.5%=902#

A payload of 1239 is light. My 2020 F150 has a pay load of 2066. You need to add your hitch, camper tongue weight, passengers and stuff you carry in the bed. I carry a generator, fuel for generator, satellite dish, extra water, tools, camping table/chairs and etc. I have a tonneau cover for the bed of my truck, running boards and fold down step whose weight must be included. Basically everything added to the truck not on the original invoice. To get true weights go to a CAT scale.
You can probably haul more than the listed weights, maybe safely/maybe not, but check with your insurance agent to make sure you are covered if weights are exceeded. My neighbor works for a major insurance company he says he knows of claims that have been denied because of exceeding the limits.

Imagine 2500RL Weight
Could you ask your neighbour for some details?
People always make this claim but evidence to back it up is like finding a unicorn
Commercial? Recreational?
Blatant overage? 12000 lb 5er on a half ton or 300-400 lbs over gvwr?
I just can’t see it

Dry weight mean nothing. The important figure is going to be the GVWR and the GCWR. We had a 2019 F-150 with 5.0L and 10 speed. The truck had plenty of power to pull but by the time we put it all together with a WD hitch and the 2600RB, we were getting right up to max payload. The combination would respond to any cross wind or semi "suck" on the interstate. The wife didn't like the ride and we decided to upgrade to a 2020 F-250 6.7L diesel. With a WD hitch, we've driven with a 35 mph cross wind and didn't realize there was a wind until we stopped to fuel. The ride is more comfortable, stable and the wife falls asleep during long drives.
Remember, safety MUST be the first concern. Will you be able to stop in an emergency? Will you get blown around by semis or winds? Will you step up in TT before you replace the tow vehicle? And understand, the amount of stuff you take will likely grow (more weight). Make sure you know what the GCWR is, not what some salesman tells you. Check out the vehicle manufacturer's web sites to see exactly what a vehicle is rated at, BUT also remember the more options you put on the tow vehicle, the less payload it can carry. And consider getting a max tow package to give you the greatest capability.2020 F-250 XLT SuperCrew 7.3L Blue Ox SwayPro, 2020 Imagine 2600RB,
