Recommendation for hauling my motorcycle?

My wife and I recently went to the Atlanta RV show and really like the new 376TH made by Grand Designs. What we liked most was the innovative way they incorporate the garage underneath the bedroom. For just hauling a motorcycle, most toy haulers sacrifice too much for that 10'+ garage in the back that we wouldn't get very good use out of.

Unfortunately we only own a SRW GMC 2500 with a GVWR of 15,800 and that 5er maxes out at 20k! Since my truck is paid for and I've got a sophomore and senior in HS about to go to college, there's no new truck in my future for at least 6-7 years. Has anybody seen another toy hauler similar in concept to the 376TH but light enough for my truck to pull?

Here is a link to that 5er https://www.granddesignrv.com/showroom/2018/toy-hauler/momentum/floorplans/376th

Thanks!

Not sure of the specs on your 2012. Post the rest of your truck info whether CC, EC, engine, trans, rear so we can look it up but I have a feeling a 20K 5er will be too much for your '12.

My 2016 CC, 6.0L, 6 spd,4.10 has a GCWR of 21,100. Max trailer wt of 13,000. Max 5th wheel of 14,300 with 3000 pin wt.

Is it possible the 15,800 you mention is the max 5th wheel you can tow?

I see in trailer life towing guide that a 2012 CC with standard bed and 6.6 diesel 4x4 rated for 15,800

Welcome to the forum!

Yes, that TH is too much for your truck. If yours is a late model 2500, it will have a 10,000 GVWR, rather than 15,800. I can't help you pick out a similar floor plan, lighter TH, but you will need one with under 14,000 GVWR, in order to stay within the RAWR/tire rating of your truck.
