Buying my first travel trailer and have a question. My truck is rated at 12500 towing capacity and the toy hauler I am looking at is 9900 dry weight. Am I going to heavy?
As a previous 2016 25WB Work and Play toy hauler owner, believe what others say. 2013 Chevy Silverado 5.3 v8 with 373 rear gear. Trailer advertised 6,600 empty. With blue ox hitch, and our gas golf cart, the Chevy strained in 4th gear to maintain 50-55 mph. Truck was squirrelly to drive at speed. The F 250 bought to replace the Chevy did a somewhat better job.
