Pulling the trailer won’t be a problem. Carrying the added weight will overload you.
I thought I had done my homework, but unfortunately, I had only done part of it. It just never occurred to me to check payload capacity. As I stated earlier, I assumed if it was rated to tow 17,860# it would have the payload capacity to match that.
