    I have a 2023 1794 and I'm going to buy a slide in camper that weighs about 1200lbs and also want to tow a utility trailer that weighs 2500lbs. Can this be done safely?

    1200 + 2500 x 10% = 1450 min, could be above 10%

    Plus passengers
    Plus cargo in cab or slide in camper
    Plus at least 10% of cargo on trailer

    = total

    Check that against max payload shown at sticker on door post.

    no, the truck does not have enough payload for that setup.

    I bet the yellow sticker on your doorjam shows about 1350 payload.

    1200+250+175=1625 (camper+10% tongue weight+1 passenger)
    and that is a conservative estimate. most likely, the camper would be filled with items, you would have more passengers in the cab, and you would have a load on the trailer.

    You could even be over payload without the trailer. add 4 passengers in the cab with that camper and you will be over.
