Toy haulers with 3/4 ton truck

That's true for most older DRW's too. At least for my model year it is. DRW= less trailer than SRW because of more vehicle weight if you go by GCVWR.

I imagine there a quite a few toyhaulers you could pull with a 3/4 ton diesel, but without any specs on tow vehicle it's all speculation. I tow a 32' TH TT that is about 10K fully loaded with our 2500HD Silverado gasser and it handles it pretty well, wouldn't want to go much bigger. Get your truck's specs and go online to find which nice toy haulers fit within you TV's capacities.

It depends on your interpretation of your truck's capability. If you try to stay within the GVWR for your truck, you are going to find yourself being severely limited. A toy hauler with a GVWR of 15,000 or more will put most SRW 1 ton trucks beyond their ratings. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to play weight police, just pointing out the facts.

The reality is that wheels and tires on the truck seem to be the biggest limiting factor. You really need to get an "empty" weight of your truck which should include your hitch, all passengers, full tank of fuel and anything else you will be carrying when you travel. Compare your truck's GVWR and RAWR to the empty weight you will know how much pin weight your truck is capable of. Just remember that the pin weight that most manufacturers publish is going to be get heavier when you load the trailer up.

The short answer to your question is yes, a lot of people get away with towing quite large toy haulers with a 3/4 ton. I don't have a problem with it if they aren't exceeding the capacity of their tires and rear axle, but a lot of people on this forum will jump all over you.

There's a lot of options for a 3/4 ton and diesel. Visit the different web sites and match it up with the capability of your truck. What's going in it? I will be hauling a couple of street bikes in my XT276 and a 3/4 ton ford with a 6.2 gas.

Many will work with a 3/4 and some with a 1/2. You just need to know your limitations and have fun.
