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.
You can tow right up to the ratings. Those 80 percent rules of thumb are for people who can't or won't do the math on payload and axle ratings. With my diesel dually I often tow my equipment trailer above the tow rating with no oroblems.
