We have been on the road for a couple of months now mostly on the Oregon coast. I have been checking out what others are towing with their half ton rigs.
We have a 26' no slide trailer that is right at 6000# loaded ready to roll. This much less than what my owners manual for my half ton pick-up says is my max. I am very comfortable with it. Frankly I would not want to go much more but that is just me I guess.
We have seen trailers up to 30' with multiple slides behind half tons.
There was a 28' two slide next to me yesterday being towed by a Chevy Tahoe. Across from me right now is a 26' Arctic Fox with a slide behind a half ton.
Just because it says "half ton Towable" doesn't mean you should.
Do your own research buy right and be safe out there.
