weight police questions please
We have found two new TT we really like. Both are about 5600 lbs empty which I have no problem with. The tongue weight on one is 620 , the other is 720. We have a 2013 F150 3.5 Ecoboost 4x4 crew...

What do kayaks weigh?
What do the folding bikes weigh?
What do the folding chairs weigh?
Your weight, GFs weight, any stuff in cab (under/on seats, bags/backpacks etc.), the kayaks, the bikes, the chairs and that 35# of extra propane (cylinder weight & 20# propane).........ALL have to be subtracted from that 1328# cargo carrying capacity.
THEN you have to subtract the TT tongue weight from that!
SO you will be OVER on payload .......not so much because of TTs weight but the extra stuff in/on truck (kayaks, bikes)
The other issue to pay attention to would be the trucks RAWR
LT tires are a good idea.
Both trailers would be OK it's just all the stuff that you are packing in/on truck that will cause you to be overweight.
Best to go to scales and get weighed 'camp ready' then you have REAL numbers to use in decisions.
Like I said...either trailer weight wise OK for your truck.
Just need to see what the extras weigh in at.
