Just a couple of comments. Offhand, I think a 7000# dry TT is a bit much for a ½ ton; I doubt you’ll enjoy towing it, especially if you plan on climbing any grades. Especially with a ½ ton TV, forget the so called tow rating, you’ll run out of payload before you get near it. And don’t listen to what any salesman says about what you can tow, their job is to sell, not look out for your interests. I really suspect if you want that big and heavy a TT you need to look at ¾ ton with a bigger engine than a 5. But if you can come back on with the specs for the TV and TT – dry weights are useless – you can get some good input that may help you out. Good luck.
