I concur that the gearing isn't the limitation. But it does not follow that the OP should be considering a 7K trailer without the HDT. The only question is what mods would be required (if any) for the OP to be able to safely and reliably tow a 7k trailer?I had this exact conversation with someone several months ago. Starting in 2018, HDT included 3.73 gears standard on both 4x4 and 4x2. But the 3.31 gears aren't really an impediment for towing.
