General towing guestion - newbie
We plan to buy our first TT in the coming months. It will probably be something in the 8,000 pound (loaded) range. I’m thinking we would like to use a large SUV to tow but from my observations it seem...

An 8,000 lbs TT will have about 1,000 lbs of tongue weight. Now add to that tongue weight the weight of you, your wife and kids, and everything else you will load in the tow vehicle (snacks, toys, luggage, tools, dog, firewood, whatever you load in the SUV/Truck). This is how much payload you need to be able to carry. This number is likely to be 1,600 - 2,000 lbs±. Not many SUV's will handle this much weight.
