I looked up the TT the OP is expecting delivery on - brocure gross weight is 8500 lbs and hitch weight is 710 lbs. Not sure how hitch weight was calculated - this TT is 31 ft long. The OP is doing the same thing as everyone else who has this question - trying to make everything OK by thinking about tow capacity - which is a manufacturers pipe dream. Doesn't say if he has the tow package, or the OEM tires. Has been asked more than once to provide door jamb stickers and educated on the limiting payload factor of 1/2 ton pick-up trucks. Says he can't afford more TV, yet seems to have already purchased way more TT than he can safely tow. Again researching after purchase, then putting budget above the safety of the people riding with him. Good luck.
