When loaded, your tongue weight will probably be over 1000 lbs. First, that would exceed the capabilities of the factory hitch. Second, with that, passengers, and cargo, you will likely be over your GVWR. I'm only towing a 5000 lb trailer with a 500 lb hitch weight, and I'm concerned about exceeding the GVWR. The GVWR is 7200 lbs on the 08 models. It's less in prior years.
