Yes, please post your actual weight numbers. Best to have axle by axle
weights
Here is the generic formula:
GCWR => TV + TT + cargo/people/etc
Most half ton's run into rear GAWR quicker than the higher class TVs
Example is that most half ton rear GAWR is in the 4K range. The next
higher classes are in the 6K range
Not being negative, just pragmatic about it. Half tons are more car
than truck. Not saying half tons can not tow anything...just within
their ratings
ON that, decide if you believe in the ratings system or not
If not, then this discussion is academic...as just do whatever but
know the OEMs are now off the warranty hook and liability hook
If yes, then continue and provide the actual weights so that we can
provide 'ADVICE'. I never provide the 'sure you can', 'you are good
for it', etc, but the metrics to figure it out yourself...as the only
person responsible for the setup is the driver

Thank you all so much for your replies! Thanks to all of the advise here, we decided to wait a bit longer to buy a new TT. We'll take our time and make sure we have all of the numbers figured out before making a buying decision. We will have the opportunity to get weighed this week as we're loaded up and traveling, so we should be able to get more accurate numbers there too. Thanks again! As soon as I have time on a computer, I'll look up all of the numbers and post them here??
