Clarification on tow capacity
If a vehicle says it's tow capacity is 9,000 lbs what does that 9,000 pounds include? Obviously the TT plus whatever we have in it and the water in it... But what else?

Unfortunately, you are looking at the most bogus, fictitious, misleading number that the various advertising departments can come up with. It is like quoting fuel mileage going downhill at fifty mph. Tow numbers have more fine print associated with them than the tax code.
Like others have suggested, ask about specific tow vehicle/trailer combinations to get the experience of others. Then throw out the best and worst of those to get to the middle.
