I am new to travel trailer towing and need to learn about towing capacity. I am looking at a travel trailer that has an empty weight of 5,700 and a Gross Weight of 8,700. My 2016 Ram pickup is a 4x4 5...
The listed payload on my Ram is 1,520 lbs. It sounds like I need to stay in the Gross Maximum Trailer Weight of 6,500 lbs. or less for my Ram. And a tongue weight of 500 or less. Does that make sense?
