Towing over trucks max tow

Thanks. Yea those numbers are right where I saw them at. I would think it would be right at the max payload. I usually put everything in camper anyways and with the toy hauler I certainly wouldn't use the bed for much

MAX TOW Rating is a magical mfg. marketing number.

Reality is truck payload capacity (amount of weight truck can carry..all passengers, stuff in cab, stuff in bed, hitch and trailer wet pin weight)

Then RAWR and rear tire max load ratings.

Pay attention to those numbers vs the MAX TOW Number
