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.
It may not fly apart, but it will wear out faster, no question if your consistently working it hard.
I have found that if i don't exceed 80% of the tow rating with the trailers gvwr, ot makes for a good towing experience with pleanty of margin left. Others don't mind being that close to the max. That's their choice.
