What TV will handle a 7-8k GVWR TT ?

What would you pull with your jeep? figure that is about as much as some of the std lighter gvwr 1500's would pull. Same with how much you would load into it.

Hence why, when one starts talking carrying people, AND hitch in the 1000-1200 lb range, one is into an 8lug 25 series truck really fast, really quick. As I noted, my family of 6 comes in at 1200-1300 lbs. Putting MOST if not all crew cab style 15 series trucks AT gvwr much less including the hitch wt of the trailer.

For two people, yes, a reg cab or ext cab 1500 will do just fine towing 8K or so lbs. My now 26 yr old son does just that with his 05 reg cab GM and a 4.8 V8! With upwards of 300 ponies to work with, plenty of power if one is willing to let the motor rev! He has not issues with most hills holding freeway speeds, along with local roads. But as he states, I also know this, some of the steeper grades around here, he would stall out due to lack of low gearing, not power, but gearing!

Well i never mentioned towing with my Jeep and i am not a family of 6. Its just me and my gf , were a young couple . This would be for just a weekend thing and keep it local in the tri state area. I would be going to camp sites that have full hook ups , we wouldnt pack too much since its just 2 of us only staying for 2-3 days max . I have been doing research , and this would be a new vehicle purchase so i would be specing it out with proper gearing and HD tow package. I dont need a crew cab , so that will give me more payload as well . The GM 1500 i test drove had a payload of 1850lbs on the sticker and that was with the extended cab which was perfect.
