Another "Can I Tow This" question.....

I'm probably opening a huge can of worms but I'll ask anyway. I'm looking at a 2019 Grand Designs Imagine 2500RL and plan on towing it with a 2015 Ram 1500. The payload capacity of my truck is 1600lb's and I'll be right at that number when I'm towing (me, wife, dog, cooler, generator, motorcycle, gas, hitch weight, etc...). The UVW of the camper is 5850lb. I'll also be towing with a Reese WD hitch. So can I/should I tow this TT with my truck or should I look at a bigger TV?

Looked of the Gross weight of your trailer on the manufacturers site - it is 7495. So when calculating hitch weight, consensus usually hovers around 13% so 7495 * .13 = 974.

So your most likely not going to load almost 2K lbs of stuff, so I'd also say go for it and see how you like it.

I'm surprised you can't get a good deal on a 2018 - usually dealerships will want to get rid of them. Try at the end of the month.

I'm sure you will enjoy that TT - happy camping!
