We just purchased our first travel trailer. We are looking at purchasing a new tow vehicle. Would like recommendations on what tow vehicle is best what to avoid. We will be towing a bunkhouse GVWR is 7,500 lbs.
TIA for your recommendations.
Where did you get this weight from? The dealer or a brochure? Or did you have it weighed ready for camp full of water?
That might help you decide on the actual tongue weight.
I'm assuming since OP quoted a gvwr of 7500 lbs, that is max wieght per manufacture specs.
BUT HOW it's gvwr is figured, is another story. It might be 2 3500 lb axles, plus 500 lbs of HW. Or like my old TT, 2 3500 lb axles, but a gvwr of 6500 for some unknown reason.... It could have 2 4000 lb axles....
Too little info to give proper answers
