Arctic Fox 990 or 992 or Lance 1050s?!?!?

Hello fellow travelers.!! I have a 2013 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD crew cab long bed 4x4 diesel and I recently equipped the truck with Ride Rite FireStone Airbags and Tork Lift tie downs!!! Now the question is what TC to get?? My truck is 7750lbs full of fuel and the GVWR is rated @ 10,000lbs. I'm very interested in the arctic Fox 992 but know I'll be over weight with it or with the 990 or the Lance 1050s. What to do??? All advice and input would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!! BTW I will be pulling a 19' Jet Boat with what ever I set up and as far as passenger just myself, wife and 1 medium size dog

Well I like the AF 992 best. In fact, I just bought one to go along with my jet boat. But, all of those campers will weigh around 5000lbs wet. Not only will you be exceeding your GVWR, but probably also your RAWR and your tires. Overloading the tires is unacceptable. I would bet you'll need 19.5s to pull this off as well as more suspension mods. A dually or a smaller camper would be the best option.

I have a Lance 992 and love it, but i have it on a SRW F350 Diesel. It is heavy and may be a tad heavy for your truck. Just my 2 cents.
