X2. The dry weights listed are bare bones without any of the added options. Add the options, 400lbs of water, your gear and the weight is going to soar well past 8k. I know that some of the newer 1/2 tons are rated for 10k+ but only with the lowest rear end gear ratio available which most dealers won't stock. Even then the components are at their limits and it going to really suck towing, especially if you go to the mountains.
One thing most people forget is you have to maneuver and park this beast. Many state and national parks have very limited availability for anything over 30 feet and just wait till you have to make a sharp turn, City driving is particularly fun, not only do you have to clear the corner when turning but you have 10 feet behind the wheels that can side swipe the cars in the lane next to you.
