well may end up getting a travel trailer this week!

No offense like the others say, but from the questions you ask I'm going to assume you are a complete newbie to trailering with very little experience/knowledge on the subject. That is WAY too much trailer for any 1/2 ton truck. Buying it with your current tow vehicle would be your first mistake. Taking it on the owners word and sight unseen would be your second.

I would suggest you pass for now and educate yourself first.

Just trying to understand before I comment. You want purchase a 2005 TT without seeing it and without a pro inspection? Are used 2005 TTs that rare? This is a joke, right?

Please for your own good look it over in the day light with some one that knows trailers (campers) if at all possible. Makes me think of a young guy and his wife that pulled in to a spot next me on night a few years ago that he had just bought and how the seller was just guy. The next morning we looked it over and it had so much water damage it looked like it was only about a step from the junk yard, I really felt sorry for the kid. So please don't go sight unseen.

the gvwr is close to 10k my truck is rated for about 11k on towing (its a 16 chevy 1500 5.3 it also has built in trailer brake) so it could be a pain if fully loaded?

GVWR without telling us the CCC means nothing but even if we assume a dry weight of say 7000 lbs (not unreasonable for a trailer this size) you'll most likely run out of payload capacity with the gross tongue weight a trailer of this size will place on the truck.

You just asking if this trailer has a 2" coupler (it will be 2 & 5/16") tells me you have a LOT to learn before buying any trailer. You sure won't be dropping this trailer coupler just on a ball and calling it good, you'll unquestionably need weight distribution / sway control as well.

Time to establish just how much your truck really weighs with a full tank of gas and as a result how much it's real world payload capacity may be. No point in buying a trailer you can't tow. ;)

No offense intended but from the questions you've asked I'd suggest you defer this purchase and spend some time boning up on the subject as you're not anywhere near yet ready for buying any trailer and all the issues it will bring with it, especially one this old. You can start by reading as much as you can here on the forums where you'll find a lot of good information if you take the time. :)

Please don't take my bluntness as being rude....but
Bad idea, real bad idea.
Go see it, inspect it or hire an expert to inspect it. Touch it, smell it, crawl all over it, under it, on top of it....BEFORE you pay for it.

It might "look clean" in the pictures, but it's 11 years old....Save yourself some grief.

And, you have the wrong ball size, and you need a weight distribution hitch and you probably don't have enough truck for a 10K trailer....and...
