I feel like 5425lbs dry seems conservative. It just tows like it's heavier than that, especially the last hill leading up to my house. I'd put dry weight closer to 6000.
FWIW, the trailer is currently spec'ed for 7500lbs and I've always felt it wasn't enough. New springs will be rated for a total of 8500lbs...possibly as high as 9000.
