Other people? Gear? You can go to the scales to verify actual weights you're towing but you are likely over your truck's payload.
Did all the math already .batteries, propane ,fuel ,dog me & wife . As far as 14,000 lbs . Not gonna happen. Maybe 12,500 for extended stay as we travel light & don't carry water in our tanks as we don't boondock. We're at the top of our #s but doable with the Hemi Ram. Same truck with diesel engine looses 800 to 1000 payload capacity.
