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.
GCWR is gross COMBINED weight rating. That's truck, everything and everyone in the truck, the tongue weight, the WD hitch weight, the trailer, and everything and everyone in the trailer.
When you're talking actual weights, drop the R.
For the truck, everything and everyone in the truck, the tongue weight, and the weight of the WD hitch, that goes against the GVW of the truck.
