For sure. Especially when I add 3 more people in the cab and an ATV in the bed. Then add the tongue weight of the trailer and I can use up over 3k of payload real quick. Plus, I don't like running at the maximum weight limits, so some buffer room for emergency situations is nice (especially in the mountains where I usually am). It never hurts to have more.

 

people forget that,  your limit is payload not  really towing capacity.  Always laugh at the next HD truck from whatever brand can haul 85,000lbs,  uhhh not really.  Considering a good rule of thumb is 12-15% for tongue weight,  a 10k lb trailer has around 1500 in tongue,  4 x200lb adults and 200lb tool box, dont leave you much to spare.
