We are looking into getting our first travel trailer to upgrade from our popup trailer. I have two young kids and want to make sure I am being cautious. The trailer we are considering is a 2007 Fleetwood Mallard 26RLS. The GVWR of the trailer is 7,900 (5,523 Dry) with a hitch weight of 802.
My truck is a 2004 F150 Lariat Supercrew 2WD 5.4L 3.55 rated at towing 8,500 maximum loaded trailer weight and a GCWR of 14,000. My truck has the tow package and an electronic brake. I also have a weight distribution hitch.
Given the above information, would it be reasonable to tow the Fleetwood Mallard or should I look for something lighter?
No, you won't be a happy camper !
