So like any other new person that's bought a travel trailer I probably have put the cart before the horse. So ultimately the question is can I tow this...
I have a 2019 GMC Sierra Elevation DC 4x4 with the tow package and the L84 engine and a 3.23 gear ratio. The limitations are
9400lb Towing capacity
7000lb gvwr
15000 GCWR
3800 GAWR RR
940 tongue weight
The trailer I bought was a 2020 Venture Sport Trek 322VRL with
1010 dry hitch weight
7580 dry weight
8820 loaded weight
So I know that the owners manual for the truck gives specs and limitations and states any trailer must have a WDH and then shows 50%? So can I tow thing or what?
Thank you all in advance and will appreciate any feedback.
You were over at hello.
The trailer, at a loaded weight of 8820 should put about 1200 on the hitch when ready for the road. Plus add 100lbs or so for the WDH.
The trailer itself will be a balancing act, empty weight of 7500, add 40 for a battery, 60 for propane, then figure what you will for water as well as your possessions. For a 32' trailer pack light. It can be done, but you dont have a lot of extra capacity. 50 gallons of water alone will eat 400 of the remaining 1000 pounds of available capacity.
