I'm reading all these comments and really appreciate them! I called dealer and told him to put everyone hold until I get more information - it's not too late for us to back out of this sale. I stopped commenting on the TV because my husband has it at work and I can't look at the sticker at the moment...but I will the moment he gets home.
Off the top of my head it's a 2009 1500 suburban V8 with a cooling package/tow package. I know it has airbags that inflate when you hook the trailer to it. I'm sorry I can't speak more intelligently about it at the moment.
As far as I'm concerned this deal is dead. I was T-boned by a meth addict in 2010 and got hurt really badly. I am NOT interested in another car crash...especially with our son in the car...and especially if we are the ones causing the unsafe road.
So, I'm really glad I joined your group! When I called the dealer to say hold the deal because I just learned this is unsafe he said he has sold this trailer to people with my exact vehicle before. He insisted it will be fine and said that he's never heard of the length of the TT being an issue and kinda laughed it off. Trust is lost there, clearly!
I'm just waiting for my husband to get off work so we can get more details about the car. We're feeling like a couple dumbasses right now for just listening to the dealer...but we're grateful for all this much needed information.
