"test drive"
Before I purchase a TT I want to hook it up to my truck and take it on a short drive on a freeway to see how it handles, etc. Do you think a dealer would allow me to do this?

I naively asked for a test tow back when were moving from a popup to our first full height trailer, a hybrid ... little did I appreciate at the time that not only should I be test towing with a properly sized and adjusted weight distribution system in place but also with the trailer loaded as it normally would be for camping. BIG difference without these and having been there I'd say don't waste your time, nor the dealer's with an empty test tow that's not going to tell you anything.
Just curious ... do you think you're so close to the limits of your vehicle that a test tow is going to make the decision for you one way or the other? If so, knowing all your numbers beforehand will tell you a LOT more than a test tow with an empty trailer.
