The Dreaded 1/2 Ton Towing Question

I think the opening poster will be fine with the new trailer. I checked the spec.'s of that model at a dealer and the dry tongue weight is pretty light. Just make sure you end up at the % of weight you expect and not too low. As you likely know, too low and it may not be as stable.

Good luck, if I were you, I'd get the trailer you prefer since you expect to be within the numbers of your truck based on actual weights and estimates, not just guessing.
