Is this truck and trailer combo safe??
So I've been lurking here for awhile, and now DH and I are getting ready to purchase our first travel trailer.
His truck is rated to tow 6,200 pounds, and the payload is 1,688 pounds.
The trailer we really want is the Lance 1685.
Dry weight is 3710. GVWR is 5500. Dry hitch weight is 435.
Do we have enough wiggle room to be safe? Or, should we find something that is much lower than the 6200 his truck is rated at?
Also- if anyone has any other trailers to recommend, I'd love to hear them. Looking for something that sleeps 4-6 (we currently have one small child), 6 cubic ft fridge, large as possible tanks (I know, water etc is heavy)for dry camping. In the 16-18 ft range at most. No pop outs! TIA!
