2014 Cherokee Grey Wolf 29BD and Toy Tundra V8 5.7L
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?

Yes it’s a 23BD…..sorry
Length is 27' 6"
Gross weight is 7404
Advertised dry weight is 4937
Advertised tongue weight is 442 (something wrong with that because, it is less than 10%)
Tongue weight should be at least 10%, average is 12-13%, and some trailers have 15%.
Loaded for camping, that trailer will weigh 6000 - 6500 lbs, with tongue weight in the area of 800 to 850 lbs. Possibly higher, depending on how it is loaded.
This is where your homework comes into play.
Does the truck, you are considering, have sufficient payload (cargo carrying capacity) to carry your family, cargo (planned for truck bed), 100 lbs of WD hitch and up to 900 lbs of tongue weight?
