TT shopping frustration
We went out today searching for a TT that will meet our needs. We were very upfront with every sales person that we encountered regarding only having 940 max tongue weight available and every one trie...

Do you plan on dragging around a completely empty trailer? Dry weight is a useless number and you should be looking only at it's weight when loaded with your stuff or better yet, looking at it's GVWR. Assume it's LOADED tongue weight will be 15% (then range from 10% to 15% and you need to be able to tow it regardless of how it's loaded). Just curious how you arrived at such an odd number as a maximum though. Are you sure it's not the HITCH rating you're looking at? If this is so AND if you still have available weight while staying within your axle ratings and your GVWR then you CAN go heavier.
Having more information about the tow vehicle would make it easier to provide some real answers as opposed to just having a discussion.
Good luck / Skip
Obviously the answer to your question is no... But the GVWR seems useless to us too because we won't be dry camping and many trailers are rated for close to 2,000 pounds of cargo which won't be applicable to us either.
Yes it is the hitch rating that I was looking at (which is coincidently in line with how much payload we have left after passengers and dogs are in the TV). Our TV is a 2010 Nissan Titan 4x4 Crew Cab.
