If the numbers look good on the 1500, go for it. I tow my 27.5 RLTS with a Toyota Tundra and have taken it through the Eisenhower-Johnson tunnel on I-70. Think about how you load your personal gear in the trailer. The rough estimate is that anything placed behind the axle reduces the pin weight, while anything placed ahead of the trailer axle will increase it. With a 1500, pin weight will be the first thing you may exceed. Consider looking at something like the Reese Goose Box to say some of the hitch weight. When fully loaded, take it to a CAT scale to see what you need to move. (You will always need to move something.)
