New to travel trailers. Seeking guidance
Hi everyone. While I am not new to camping I am new to the whole RV style of camping. My name is Jason. My wife and I are in the market looking to purchase a new (not used) tow behind travel trailer...

As I said in my earlier post, I tow a 31' 11" TT with with my Tundra that has a dry weight of just under 6k and a GVWR of 7,500lbs. I would not tow anything longer or heavier with the truck. I know that some do, but I would not feel safe. It would be a very uncomfortable and stressful tow. You would arrive at your destination feeling like you just completed a triathlon. You do not want to max it out, or even be close, as the tow ratings are usually based on a flat trailer. Things are different when you are towing an apartment down the highway. I'm not bashing the truck. I love mine, and I believe, that other than an EcoBoost with MaxTow and HD payload, the 5.7 with 4.30 gears is the most capable half ton available.
