2972... so....1200 in the bed and 1800 in the trailer sound okay?
No, because unless you load the trailer so that it has zero tongue weight (which is a very bad idea) you will still be way over your payload as soon as you hook that trailer up to the truck that is already at its max with a full load in the bed. The trucks payload (approx 1200 pounds) includes trailer tongue weight.
