Are those 2500# and 3000# pin weight numbers wet pin OR DRY?
Rough numbers for shopping purposes.........figure 20% of toyhaulers GVWR for wet pin weight.
If that number is more than your trucks 'available' payload (actual payload left AFTER subtracting weight of all passengers, fuel, stuff in cab/in bed) then that toyhauler is too big cause if truck can't handle that wet pin then other truck ratings will be overloaded (Truck GVWR, GCVWR, RAWR and/or REAR Tire MAX Load Rating)
Provided you want to stay within 'Ratings'
If not........do like 1000s have done. BUY the one you WANT and hook up.
