Newbie and can't figure out the "What can I tow" math
Hello all,
My family and I are looking for a travel trailer but for the life of me I can't figure out how to do the math to determine what I can safely pull. I have looked at many different sites trying to figure it out and just seem to confuse myself more each time.
My tow vehicle is a 2017 Tahoe LT 4x4
Tahoe Curb Weight: 5,555
Tahoe GVWR: 7,300
Tahoe Tow Rating: 8,400
Engine: 5.3L V8 Ecotec / 3.42 rear axle ratio
Hill Descent
The travel trailer that I have my eye on is a 2017 Winnie Minnie
Minnie Dry Weight: 5,320
Minnie GVWR: 7,000
Dry Hitch: 660
Length: 27'11
Any thoughts on if this is safely doable with my tow vehicle? We are a family of 5 so passenger weight alone in the Tahoe is 600 lbs. Thank you for any and all help you might be able to provide and I apologize in advance for the elementary question.
