KZ labels our 6800 lb GVWR TT "Super Lite" on the back of it. Funny, I can't seem to find the term "Super Lite" on their website. They refer to the entire Spree line of travel trailers as "Light Weight". "Light weight" and "super lite" are interchangeable terms? The Spree model line, which ours is, ranges from 6,000 GVWR to 9,500 GVWR and are all referred to as "light weight".
I assume "ultra lite" and "super lite" are variations of the same definition? Am curious how a travel trailer with 9500 lb GVWR can be called light weight. Or are they trying to say it is light compared to other manufacturer's trailers of the same length?
Even more confusing what KZ is doing is labeling their Durango line of 5th wheel trailers into "Durango 1500" and also "Durango". The "Durango 1500" is now termed "1/2 ton towable". WTH (what the heck)??
The GVWR on these 5-ers ranges from 9225 lbs to 10,800 lbs. If the pin weight is up around 20%, you are looking at a weight of around 2,000 lbs onto the truck. Are they trying to say any 1/2 ton has the payload capacity and/or RGAWR to handle these? Are there any 1/2 tons that really can handle these without overloading it? :? Our F250 wouldn't even be capable of towing one of these "1/2 ton towables." I am very serious, someone needs to explain this. I am just trying to understand this.....
This weight stuff from manufacturers is getting so confusing and annoying and ridicuclous. Maybe some smart lawyer will get onto it one day. It's like a lawsuit waiting to happen.....
