Thank you for all the helpful responses. These are the weight recommendations I compiled from the responses from 5 different sites: Can you tell I’m OCD and obsessed with numbers?... 11,000 1 recommendation 11,850 1 12,000 3 13,500 1 14,500 1 15,000 2 I’ve averaged that out to about 13,000 lbs.
SO, along with the response averages and my calculation results (Assuming that we won’t max the truck out to its GVWR) I think we will go out on a limb and shoot for a 5er with a dry weight of 9500-11,000 and/or GVWR under 13,500. Am I on the right track? I’ll go with the majority answer… Thanks, Pam

Figure that you are going to haul about 2000 pounds of stuff. Any more than that, and you are bringing too much. :)

In looking at trucks, if you are looking at new, have the dealer look at the "data plate" (or decal) near the driver's door of the vehicle and use that data to help fully determine the GCVW (Gross Combined Weight Rating) of that particular truck. If you are looking at used ones that aren't on a dealer's lot, use you cell phone to take a picture of that "data plate" and go to a dealer for the information.
