Thank you both!
The WD hitch they were showing us is the husky WD hitch because I didn't want the frame of the truck drilled into creating frame damage. They said it goes around the frame but looking at photo online it looks like it is just another ball slide into where our current generic hitch is.
So if I calculated correctly our payload per manufacturer is 1548 - passenger weight = payload of 1138 at 13% = 8753. So my limiting factor is my max trailer weight of 5950.
So the trailer I wanted is a no go due to engine size. Can't upgrade that lol...so guess it is find another TT or get a new truck!
Is the push/pull normal with all TT's? Not sure I can handle that long distances if it is.
What max weight TT should I stay under to ensure I have weight for supplies etc?
