HELP on buying the tow vehicle.
So we are ready to buy a tow vehicle and I'm tense about buying the wrong one. We have a bumper pull travel trailer. A Keystone Passport touring 2300bh. The dry weight is 4380 and hitch weight is 460....

One thing not mentioned...PLEASE don't use "dry weight" to purchase a tow vehicle with. No one tows a TT or 5er "dry" or "empty"...Your best bet to purchase the right TV would be to use the trailers GVW and go from there. The GVW on that TT is 6800#, I would use THAT weight to figure max tongue weight and what vehicle to use to tow it with....It's a FAR more reaslistic number than a "dry weight" number of 4380#...It's amazing how much one will pack into their TT or 5er....and one shouldn't really "speculate" on how much weight they'll add to the RV..Use worse case scenario and it won't come back to haunt you "down the road" or if and when you might be towing in the mountains.
