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.
I ran at just over 87% with my combo with no real issues on my recent trip around North America. I scaled close to 14000 pounds on a 16000 pound GCVWR. Saw everything from bald ass prairie to high mountain passes in the Rockies. Could have used a few more horsepower at 8,000 feet, but no problem at all. I was close to my max on the rear end--cant remember the numbers.
