Hello all,

I am looking for a little guidance regarding my tow situation. Please forgive the lengthy post.

I have a 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 with 6.2L V8 with towing package. Using an E-q-ualizer WDH Here are the stickers from the chevy.






Here is the trailering guide for Chevrolet in 2018




According to the above my vehicle has a max rating of 11,7003lbs


The trailer is a 2021 2600 RB. Per GDRV UVW = 5725lbs Hitch wt = 594 and GVWR = 7850lbs
Sticker from trailer tires says: cargo should not exceed 1680lbs


Here is my weigh ticket with loaded trailer and vehicle, with WDH engaged. Note: in the vehicle are 2 people totaling 300lbs and 2 dogs totaling 200lbs, and approximately 100lbs of cargo. So almost 600lbs of cargo. A lot, I know, but you tell the SO or dogs they can't come along, I'll stand back and wait for the fireworks.




So on our first trip to camp the trailer felt "heavy" and it felt like I was being pushed a bit. The weigh ticket above was on the way home, subsequently the ride home was much better and we didn't shed much weight at the campground.

I plugged in some info into couple of spreadsheets made by wonderful people in this community, forgive me for not giving due credit, and got these results.



and




So based on all of this. I am concerned that my vehicle will handle the trailer but my available payload capacity is not good at all or next to none.

Any thoughts and opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
