I'm one of those heavy westerners. I finally loaded enough stuff that for the first time I should consider a WD hitch on a 3/4 ton truck. I'd bet a modest amount of money that the number of TM owners with more stuff than me can be counted on one hand.
What ever you choose to do, I encourage you to load it all up for a trip and weigh it. Then you will know what you really have and can choose to leave some items at home if it is "too" heavy. For example, I always carry a full load of water. With proper planning you could eliminate the 400 pounds of water that I carry.
Guessing the weight can become dangerous.
Welcome aboard.
