But later he replied that his has a GVWR of only 16,500.
But he'll still be overloaded when the trailer is wet and loaded for the road and grossing over 16,000 pounds. His max trailer weight without being overloaded over the GCWR of his tow vehicle is about 13,500 pounds. And his max hitch weight without busting the GVWR of the tow vehicle is about 2,000 to maybe 2,500 pounds if he empties the toolbox. But the hitch (pin) weight of a 16,500 5er is going to be around 18 percent, or over 2,900 pounds. IOW, he'll be overloaded.

Gotcha, thanks for the clarification.
