Expedition Towing Camper
I posted this question in the Tow Vehicle forum as well, but after looking through this forum thought this might be the more appropriate place. I am considering a new travel trailer. It is 31 feet ...

In my opinion, that will be just at the limits of your tow vehicle. It will probably be safe but not very comfortable.
Your tongue weight is probably going to be well North of 1000lbs when it is ready for camping. I would not be surprised to see a tongue weight of 1200lbs or more. That will be well above the rated capacity of your receiver.
Does your ratings leave you enough cushion to feel comfortable?
Probably not.
"Would you buy this camper and tow it with this truck?"
No. I am not comfortable towing at the limits of my trucks ratings.
