JoMoLiteExplorerJun 29, 2017Towing a TTWhat 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.
LwiddisNomad IIJun 29, 2017"Those 80 percent rules of thumb are for people who can't or won't do the math on payload and axle ratings."Unfair assumption, KD. I've done the math and choose to stay at 85% or below...TT weight, tongue weight and TV payload.
