Well, I ended up buying a used Jayco JayFlight 26BH. It weighs around 4800 lbs dry and came with a Reese WD hitch. I pulled it home today and my truck pulled it pretty good. I think once I get it loaded and it weighs in from 5500 to 5800 lbs then it will be all my truck wants.. Its in really good shape from what I can tell and our first trip is weekend after next... My kids are PUMPED UP!!!
Congrats!
Seeing the kids excited makes all of the money we spend worthwhile.
We originally towed the trailer in my sig with a 2013 Silverado, 5.3, 3.42.
We took that combo through the Smokies and the Ozarks, and it did OK. We decided to upgrade to a bigger truck after going through a bad storm in Tennessee and getting blown into the lane next to us. It's been the best decision we ever made. The 2500 feels much more stable and with a 3,000 pound payload, we have the added benefit of being able to load the bed with as much gear and firewood as we need.
Anyway, have fun and safe travels!
