Maybe if you took out the battery and propane tanks and emptied the trailer. The 9400 is shipping weight and I added another A/C. The actual weight of the trailer when ready to camp is ~11,300 with ~2400+ lbs on the pin.
1/2T towable, Uh huh get real. Good laugh for me.
I walked out on a salesman a couple months ago when he insisted on telling me that Jayco Eagle HT's were half-ton towable. I offered to look up truck specs and he declined. This is absolute b.s. by the manufacturers and I'm just waiting for someone with more money than sense to sue one for false advertising. The =only= truly 1/2 ton FWs, IMO, are Scamp, and the like, with some older 19/20'-ers.
