Stated hitch weights by the mfg are usually very optimistic as to what the trailer weighs as you will use it.
What is the GVWR of the trailer? UVW + CCC is usually the GVWR, in this case about 10600. Generally, the pin weight (weight of the trailer on the truck) is around 20% of the GVWR--again, in this case, about 2120. So, if you load the trailer to max rating, you will put somewhere around 2100# on the rear axle. With a payload of 1950, you are going to be over on the payload and probably the rear axle also.
Tough to pull a lot of fiver with a 2500 truck and be withing max numbers.
