first timer at rving

Thank you for the info .I wanna keep the family safe and still have fun rving.

Your truck may be listed as 9500 tow cap but the trailer will be right up at that's limit. Also look at your payload cap. 9000 lb trailer should have a tongue weight around 1200 lbs, add another 100 for the wd hitch, plus the weight of the folks travelling with you, and your nearing 2000 lbs with nothing in the bed,
Salesmen will quote you the empty weight of a trailer. The only time that trailer will weigh that, is the day it leaves the assembly floor.

You can check the specifics on your truck, but my first impression is that you would be pushing the truck much harder than you may want to, especially with the 3.42 gearing.

thanks for the info. but this is the only trailer to handle our big family comfortably.

I always tell first timers don't by your first RV new. Buy a 2-5 year old unit from a private seller. The deprecation on new RV's is really bad especially if you may not like it. And start smaller. Under 30'

IMHO, even though the manufacture says you have a GCWR of 15,000 lbs, that is way to much without the ax Trailering Package. Above 10,000 GCWR I would recommend a 3/4 ton pickup.

A 36 foot TT that with bumper and tongue will be 40+ feet for a newbie. That’s courage, mister, that’s courage. Isn’t the tongue weight of a 1500 limited to 1,000 pounds with a WDH? Which you’ll be over. A “big” family and the necessary tongue weight to help prevent sway...what is your TV’s payload?
