Newb advice for finding used truck for towing travel trailer

Having went through this recently myself, I would say that a 7500+ lb trailer with my half ton (2011 Sierra 1500) was more than I wanted to deal with. I bought a 26 ft Tracer 2640RLS, that loaded is 5900lbs. Im really happy with how it pulls overall. I don't know that I would like it with another 1500+lbs.

As others say, do the math, and give yourself some margin. Last thing you want is to be so close that stopping for a Big Mac puts you over!!!(grin).
