Man, our dealer seemed so honest. I'm laughing at myself while typing that!
With vehicle dealers It's often not so much a matter of "honesty" but the fact that very few have anyone on staff who knows squat about towing a recreational vehicle ... and of course many RV dealers will tell you
anything to make the sale. Unfortunately also you haven't provided (unless I've missed it) any details about your specific Sub other than saying it's a "1500". Heck, that could mean anything and as one who has been towing for 10 yrs now with GM 1/2 tons I'd say, without knowing more about your particular truck, that you really wouldn't want to tow much more than perhaps 6000 to 6500 lbs fully loaded, especially if you expect to tow over varied terrain that could involve significant upgrades and heavy head winds. Remember this isn't just about weight but most importantly about significant wind resistance created when trying to tow any full height trailer that has all the aerodynamics of a barn door ... believe it, that little Sub will be working it's heart out trying to cope with the task of towing such a large trailer as you have in mind.
