Normally folks asking can I tow it questions give their trucks year model..... engine size....the trucks GVWR.....the trucks RAWR.....the trucks rear axle gear ratio.

I always look at the trailer dry weight and its GVWR. Some trailers have a large CCC and others a small CCC. From those numbers most folks can make a ball park max number.
A 5xxxk lb dry weight can grow by 1000-1500 lbs all depending on how its loaded.

2013 F-150. 5.0 engine. 4X4 3.55 axle ratio. GCWR 13500.
I'm not sure how everyone gets so much extra weight in their campers. I weighed everything I put into my current camper(food, tools, blankets, etc) and it only totaled and extra 280 lbs or so.
