Timely post. We just got back from the RV show where I heard a salesman tell about 15 people in the Jayco Pinnacle we were looking at that it can be towed by a 2500/250. I was extremely skeptical of course. When I got home a quick check of the Pinnacle specs show that they are all at least 2400 lbs dry pin weight. So is it possible to tow with a 250/2500? Yes, if you are by yourself with no add on options, empty tanks, very little gear, and nothing much in the bed of your truck. However, I doubt anyone travels like that. So technically he wasn't lying, but if everyone took him at his word and loaded up the wife, kids, and gear for just a week's vacation, they will be way overweight.
I actually had to sign a form at the dealer for my new rig verifying the type of TV I have. I think as these rigs get heavier and heavier, that will be a more common occurrence.
