Apex or Venture (Sporttrek) TT
Looking to get a TT and slowly narrowing it down to either Apex or Venture. Thought I'd ask here. Anyone have either and if so, good things to say or bad about each? Still working on numbers whethe...

Seriously? Both these trailers are bunk bed models, suggesting that you'd have a family in the truck when you're towing ... so with just 1399 lbs of payload capacity you won't have anywhere near enough capacity left to account for gross tongue weight of either of these trailers which are sure to be at least 1000 lbs, and more. Keep in mind also that stickered payload capacity is for your truck as it was originally delivered ... add a bed liner, tonneau cover, truck cap, or anything else and the weight of those come off that payload rating. Personally I wouldn't tow any trailer weighing more than 6000 lbs fully loaded & ready to camp with your truck, others may go higher but certainly 7000 lbs is about as much as you ought to consider with any 1/2 ton truck that's not equipped with a HD factory tow package, which yours isn't.
