Towing a 40’ weekend warrior 4005 flt.
OK I’m getting mixed reviews on towing my trailer. I have a 98 2500 Chevy diesel but I don’t plan on hauling it with that since I’m getting rid of it but I’m considering either another 2500 HD or 3500...

To the OP.
Will a "newer" 3/4 ton truck tow that trailer? Yep.
Will a "newer" 3/4 ton truck be within the tow ratings towing that trailer? Nope.
Pin weight on that trailer will be pushing 4000-4500lbs with full water in the trailer.
If tow ratings/weight matter, you have to put the truck on a CAT scale and do the math from there.
I own a 2006 Weekend Warrior, 42' with no slides.
Empty trailer is 11,800lbs with 2700lbs of pin weight.
Fully loaded, with 160 gallons of water, sand rail etc, I am at 17,400lbs with 3460lbs of pin weight.
I have put my entire set up on a CAT scale in all configurations.
Truck only.
Truck with empty trailer.
Truck with fully loaded trailer.
The trailer you are asking about will have higher weights than mine in all aspects due to the slides.
