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'm on the road now, but will try to remember to look up the actual scale numbers when I get home.
At the time I hit the scale, we were loaded for a 2 month trip. The bed had various items in it (maybe 300 pounds). I was about about 150 pounds over axle and payload.
I suspect I've remedied that now, as I've created more storage on the trailer and less in the truck bed.
