I am considering getting my 1st RV. The Forest River Cherokee Grey Wolf 29BD seems like a nice TT. I also can pick up a 2014 Tundra to pull it. Any comments given I’m new to this?
Do your homework on the nubers first.
You need to know:
Trailer weights (dry weight, tongue weight and gross weight)
Truck capacities (GVWR, GCVWR, payload, and hitch rating)
GVWR is maximum weight on the truck. Not all Tundra's are created equal. Based on different trim levels and packages, they have different ratings and capacities.
Payload is weight capacity between what the truck weighs and it's GVWR. It is the room it has to carry passengers, fuel, cargo, weight distributing hitch, and trailer tongue weight, combined.
