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?

- There are many other factors that will come into play first before you reach the 9000lb rating when towing a TT. Payload, axle rating, tire rating....
- That means the absolute maximum that the vehicles manufacturer feels is safe for that vehicle. Remember that generally speaking that is for a base trim level stripped vehicle and one 150 person on board. Everything you add to that reduces the towing capacity.
