Even with 4 passengers, it looks like a 10,000 trailer is totally doable.
You are kidding yourself. Run the numbers and you will quickly find you wont pull 10k without going over the ratings.
I have been down that road many times. The only way you will come close is to run a heavy duty payload packaged truck. The tongue weight on 10k to keep things in order will easily be 1,200 to 1,500 pounds. Right there, you've shot your chances with a max payload supercrew with any options, and more than you and the significant other in the cab. Your two other passengers are standing on the sidewalk, and your bed is empty.
Dont forget, advertised tongue weights are usually light since they dont include your battery and propane weights.
I tow just under 10k with a 6.4L smoker, and have been trying to work an EcoBoost F150, but even with the HD Payload, it is close.
