5247 lbs dry
plus 465 lbs water.
5712 lbs.
that would give me a good 1000 lbs of whatever I wanted to put in there and still be at 6700, more realistically I’d be around 6300-6500 lbs loaded up.
Its a a great size for us and I think it’ll be perfect! Now to start saving..
It’s ultimately your responsibility to be safe of course, but that strikes me as reasonable weight. Just be aware since you don’t have an abundance of excess capability, you’ll have to do a few cat runs after you get the trailer to ensure you’re within spec.
7600 is about the limit for trailers for what you weighed in at. Keep in mind that a properly set up WDH will transfer some weight off the truck. There are a lot of trailers with a GVWR of 7600 that work well, but one thing to look at is the CCC(Cargo Carrying Capacity) as some of them can be quite low. I saw one that had 700 pounds before it was grossed out. Thats a heavy trailer. The one you posted looks like it will work out well for your truck.
That one is a lot like the Cherokee Alpha Wolf I was looking at and the weights fall right in line with my trucks limits, though I don't travel with more than just my 2 kids since we travel with a second car. After we took a trip to Utah from IL, with 2 vehicles, it worked out so well for us, that is how we roll now. Nice if we need to do some quick shopping, so we aren't trying to navigate a lot with the trailer attached, and also for scouting out gas stations to avoid getting to one that doesn't have pumps I can maneuver around. Doesn't hurt that the car gets over 40 MPG either.
The 2016 truck I had, had a 1570 payload, and loaded up for the road it was 390 under the 7050 GVWR.
I haven't weighed the 2018, but considering it is lighter than the 16 was, it more than likely will be about the same.
Edit: just looked at my weight without the bars and the truck without the trailer, and found I had 1300 pounds on the receiver. That trailer is 200 pounds heavier than I thought at 6600 pounds.

Nice! I know that gas station. I’m in NM now, but grew up in Sterling, IL
