To the original poster......the writing on the wall is clear, buy the largest TV you can afford and you won't regret it.
I agree 100%. You'll never regret having too much capacity, but you will regret having not enough. My last truck had a 14,000 lb tow capacity and that was the gross weight on my RV. It towed fine as long as I wasn't in the mountains. I was going down the mountain into Gatlinburg TN in stop-and-go traffic and my brakes overheated and failed. Later I tried to back my RV up a hill into a camp site and noticed the transmission blowing fluid out the overflow from overheating. I bought a new truck with an 18,000 lb tow capacity and towed for almost 100,000 miles without an issue.
