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?

If I look for trailer around 4500lbs that's probably a 19' trailer. I have family of 4. I'd need to get a 3/4 ton to tow anything bigger.
Pretty close. The thing to remember is whether you are looking for a mobile home or a camper. If you want to buy a mobile home, then you need a mobile home tow vehicle. Great that you started asking before spending. A family can have a great time camping in a 5,000 pound trailer. We did it for years.
The cruel truth is that manufacturers (and a few forum members) who say that their 1/2 ton pickups "can" tow 11,000 or even 13,000 pounds are not talking about typical units but a few specially equipped models. Read the fine print. Most units found on dealer lots are better suited to 1/2 that. Have fun.
