My truck has RGAWR of 6600, GCWR of 27,500 and a curb weight of 8,302. Per the trailer specs it has a hitch weight of 3,175 and a dry weight of 12,650. I have not yet bought the trailer so I cannot take it to a scale yet. Trying to figure out if this will be too much hitch weight for the truck. I assume that since it is a toy hauler, if loaded in the back the hitch weight would go down a bit. However, we probably would not always have the back fully loaded.
With a toy hauler, you likely have a cargo weight of 3-4,000, so you are looking at probably 15-16,000lb ready to roll.
At typical 20-25% hitch (aka: pin) weight, you are looking at 3500-4000lb.
Keep in mind passengers, other cargo in the truck and bolt on stuff (like running boards) also count against payload.
This is going to be way over the trucks limits.
