I don't see how. The model is so new that Forest River hasn't even put all the specs on it up yet.

From the models on either side of it, I would expect the GVWR to be around 10,000lbs and the "dry" weight to be around 7000lbs.

If you load light and travel alone or maybe with one other person, it would be within the capacity of a 1500. I personally don't like towing more than about 7000lbs with any sort of 1500 pickup. This trailer is already at this point before you even load a pair of socks. For me it's getting to the point of being uncomfortable to tow. Just too mushy and sluggish, even with the WD hitch and everything set up right.

If you are taking a big family and loading the trailer up with toys, you really need a 2500.
