Swear my last question not. TT weight
Ok I'm looking at Jayco jay flight 32' fully load its 9000lbs. My truck can tow up to 8500lbs. I know I'll never fully load it. Would you buy it or stay clear of it?

2011 Ram towing ratings.
Find your payload rating. Estimate the weight of passengers and cargo, WDH weight. Subtract that from payload capacity rating.
13% is a good starting point for estimating tongue weight. The tongue weight should not exceed the total derived from the first exercise.
Example:trailer with 6000 lbs published dry weight + 1000 lbs of cargo + filled propane tanks and any water carried = 7500 lbs. 13% of 7500 lbs = 975 lbs. Is 975 lbs below the modified payload capacity derived from the first exercise?
One Dodge-centric adjunct is that they typically have a fairly weak rear suspension (comparatively). That may mean that you tailor weight towed to be less than the maximum for a comfortable trip.
