Ok, weighed truck with me and my twins and car seats, that's the bare minimum weight "inside" the truck I would have.
Weights are as follows:
Front 3260
Back 2920
Total weight 6180
Your rear axle sticker says 3850 per a previous post.
Was the fuel tank full?
3850-2920 = 930 lbs..
Youll be pushing it with the coachman.. Probably over after camper loaded.. Forget the other one.
Man thats not a lot left just 930lbs.
How much money you want to spend on a TT? There are some lite jobs but $$$$.
As stated its about TW and payload, not what you can pull.
This may be your safest bet..
585 TW will probably be 785 the the WD will distribute some of it.
Plus its about 4800-5000 lbs.. Youll have a better tow IMO.. After loaded 6000 or so.
Good payload too 2100lbs
