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.
Weight is not the sole factor. I would run up to 100% of rating if the trailer has fairly low frontal area and total length. Wind resistance at hwy speeds is huge, and a light but long TT will handle worse than a short heavy one.
