Calculated tow capability... Disappointed
So, in my search for the TT that the wife and I want, I've been diligently trying to calculate GVWR, GAWR, Traier capacity etc.. etc...I've read quite a bit, and I thought I would be okay with my tow ...

Good thing you do not want a 5w, with 25% you would be limited to about 2400 lbs of trailer!
at the end of the day, you have hit all the issues with towing with many trucks, including higher gvwr rigs too!
At the end of the day, if you want the trailer you have looked at, you will need a truck with more payload. Usually payload is the BIG issues, not towing power. 30 yrs ago, power was as big an issue as payload needs. Today, most trucks have more than enough power to pull trailers adequately if kept with in limits.
