Bottom line is I did my research and determined what I could tow safely, then made towing it more comfortable. If your right on the limit, or slightly over, posting on a TT forum for a blessing will be a very mixed bag.
Completely understand! I guess I turned to the TT forum for the opinions of others that may be towing with a 1500 and a similar TT. To be perfectly honest I feel my Truck would be more then capable of it, and that is why I keep researching and looking for someone that has real world experience (numbers aside) . When I towed my 30' Cherokee Grey Wolf aside from the rear squat I felt my truck pulled it great. I never had any white knuckle experiences, and the old Hemi handled it with ease. I have now installed Timber Grove Rear Air Bags and squat would no longer be an issue.
I truly feel I would be fine, but I also know that going with a smaller unit will be better in the long run. I won't be pushing the limits, and it will be more accommodating in various campsites. It sucks to pass up a smoking deal, or at least what I feel is a smoking deal -- 2014 Streamlite Ultra Lite 30KBS like new condition for $10,000. But it's less of a deal if I have to buy a 2500 to comfortably pull it around!
thanks for the response!
