Need help choosing a TT my truck will pull
Hi all, Sorry for another one of these types of threads but I want to gather as much info as possible before we actually look. We were Class A travelers for over 10 years, but sold a few years ago ...

I don't like using dry as the measurement. There are TT's that are 6,000 dry with a 7,000 class GVWR and ones with a. 10,000 lb GVWR.
I think you need to go back to your cargo limit and think tongue weight. I would check your hitch as well. An 8,000 lb TT will have a 1,040 lb TW. Add 100 lbs for WDH and you re at 1140 which barely leaves room for passengers and basic gear in truck.
Check your hitch too. Hopefully Ford has upgraded hitches with the newer trucks. My 2004 with max tow only had a hitch rated to 950 lbs even though I had over 2,000 lbs of payload and a 10,000 lb tow rating.
Hopefully you have a hitch rated at 1250 lbs.
Plus those propane tanks sitting right on the hitch as well. ;)
