If you do not know, rent a trailer.
We were unsure about the floor plan and length we wanted, so we took our best guess. We rented a floor plan we liked which dictated the length and headed for the Ozarks.
10 days on the road and we discovered, the floor plan was wrong and my 200 hp motor and 4 speed transmission would not work well. Who knew.
We did like the 25 foot length and the weight across the CAT scales did give us a useable tongue weight for the max cargo capacity.
Since then, we upgraded the truck and found a floor plan we liked. We have towed over 40,000 miles in 5 years.
Renting was a smart move, before we spent the big bucks.
