Weight advice?
I have a 2005 Silverado K1500 with a 5.3 v8 and 4.1 axle ratio. Manufacturer book says max tow weight is 8600 lbs. I want to buy a travel trailer...preferably 26ft. What approximate "dry" weight ...

I would keep the dry weight around 5000 lbs. I towed our Jayco the first year with a 2007 1500 Silverado that had the 3.42 gears and found the truck to be a bit underpowered. Your 4.10 gear has an advantage but don't put a heavy load behind the 5.3.
