Doc, you need to do some more research. Your truck GVWR is probably 10,000lbs or less......
So, take your truck to the scales. Get the front and rear axle weights. Now subtract the truck total from the truck GVWR. Be sure you have the truck loaded with all the folks, full fuel, what you normally have in the bed. It will for sure weigh at least 7,500lbs.
That will give you tongue weight capacity. Your truck loaded with the trailer attached should not weigh more than the GVWR on the plate in the drivers door jam.
If it weighs 13,120 empty, when you add 2,000lbs of clothes and other stuff, a 15K trailer will put your pin weight at 3,000lbs or more.
You really need to look at your weights again.
Jim
