Payload sticker 1162lbs and I'm sure I don't have the max tow. Looking at the window sticker I have the trailer tow package, it looks like it's standard on the fx4. Looks like I also have the 7200 GVWR package.
Thanks for all the help on this. Our goal for this trailer was to get a seasonal site next year to park it on, but this year we have 3 different week long trips planed. I know the truck will pull the trailer, but will I be legal and comfortable doing it is the question.
If I could find a trailer with the same layout but 3 feet shorter/lighter we wouldn't be having this talk.
If you're going seasonal next year buy the trailer you want now! IMO, you'll be over payload by 100-200 lbs. Not ideal but not the end of the world by any means. I see by your signature you're in Saskatchewan so it's not like you're dealing with hilly terrain. Although those 1% grades can be a killer! :)
Pack light. Purchase your firewood & beer after you get to your location. Fill up the fresh water tank at the campground and dump everything before you leave. If you can, pack the heavier items in the trailer towards the rear vs. using the truck bed.
Go check out some of the other brand specific forums. (ie. Outbackers, Forest River etc.) You can get some good info for comparison off of those sites as well.
