That ought to be illegal! The length implied by the model number is misleading enough because it doesn't include the tongue length, so we now carry a long tape measure with us to measure from the back of the box to the end of the hitch. As we browse what the internet has to offer, we've automatically eliminated anything with a model number higher than 24. So now you're saying that that may not mean even the box length, huh? I could have gone all day without hearing that.
It was both good and bad for us. We were shopping for a 19-22' box length target. Turns out our 22FBS has a 26' box. We only looked at it because of the implied smaller size. But once we saw it in person it was the perfect floorplan for us and our dogs.
The bigger trailer meant I also ended up buying a different TV that same month. So it was a very expensive upgrade. ;)
Regarding your Sequoia's towing capacity. You might be better off looking at the yellow payload sticker inside the driver's door and working backwards from that number. Payload will include passengers and cargo inside the TV and the tongue weight of the TT. Figure a max tongue weight to be 15% of the TT's max weight.
I second the motion to look at the Lance TT's. The 1985 model was in my top 3 when we were shopping.
