And there you have it! Those commercials showing a half ton truck towing 11,000 pounds almost always show them towing a boat. Why? Because boats only require 7 percent tounge weight and usually have a much more aerodynamic profile. Travel trailers put much more weight on the hitch and are about as aerodynamic as a brick. It takes a good bit more throttle to do the same speed than it does towing a boat and a good bit more suspension and braking to control it.
Once you get to 7000 pounds you need a 3/4 ton truck. You might be able to make it work with less but it will never be easy and if the fuse for the trailer brakes blows on one of the many 7 percent grades we have out west god help you and anyone around you.
