What is the optimum % of the tow vehicle maximum limit in towing a TT.I have read percentage of 80% to 50%. I am buying a new truck and I want a reasonable amount of towing excess capability. Thanks.
If you want to pull a popup with a 1 ton dually diesel, you can. You can cruise up steep grades without downshifting and it won't even feel like you have anything back there. Of course it's overkill.
Anything below 100% should be fine (assumes all ratings are below 100% not just the towing number).
