This will be correct. From memory reading the sticker; that truck has about 3300 payload, the trailer is 16k gvw. Even if you don't fully load the trailer to gvw I can't imagine buying that large of a trailer and putting a bedroll and loaf of bread in it. It will have stuff....lots of stuff. Never seen one that didn't unless it was a smaller trailer used for jaunts like going deer hunting or a fishing trip, and even then...lots of stuff.
IMO you need either a bigger truck for the 3120 but since you just bought the 2500 I would be looking at a smaller/lighter trailer. As I've always said; either buy the truck and trailer to complement each other. If not, whichever one you own dictates what you get in the other (truck/rv) if you try to be safe.
