Your truck is a work horse

Your truck is a work horse as it was designed to be. I have a 2017 F250 2WD and I pull a 2019 Montana 3721. The only mod I have made to the truck is to add air bag load levelers. Been using this setup for two years and have power to spare on mountains, no tire or rear end problems. Get it weighed and look at the facts you are working with - then decide if anything needs to be moved or removed. If necessary put a tray on the rear and load anything heavy (within the tray rating) there. It will also offset hitch weight.
My basic rule is one word, "Simplify"the load. If you didn't use it last season don't take it now, with the exception of tools, but not enough to overhaul your truck. Be realistic. Same rule inside the trailer until the boss says no. You'll stop better and save fuel too. Remember to include the weight of an extra fuel tank and two full tanks.
