Need some advice... I have a 2015 Silverado 1500. I would like to purchase an Avenger ATI 27 DBS 32' 11" travel trailer. My dry weight is 6,568 lbs. and my hitch weight is 721 lbs. The towing capacity for my vehicle is 9,100 lbs. My math shows I am well with in the scope of my towing capacity max. The trailer dealer says I can do this with no problem. Would appreciate any advice from people who have done this. Thank you
I don't see the GVWR of that TT but it appears to be over 10,000 pounds. You won't be towing an empty trailer much will you?
Expect a realistic tongue weight of 1,200 to 1,300 pounds when loaded.
Of course then you also have to subtract everything in the truck from the tow rating.
My guess is that if you buy it, next year you will be buying a bigger truck.
As for the salesperson, just assume they are lying every time they open their mouth.
