I surfed Jayco site and their 19ft TT has "unloaded" weight of 2,600 lbs. And their GVWR (re: loaded weight) is at 3,500 lbs. Most folks tow a "loaded" TT. Add people and "stuff" inside the Tow Vehicle and mini-vans and smaller V6 vehicles are over stressed. Especially going up hills and against a head wind.
Thus, do focus on Tow Vehicles with 5,000+ lbs weight ratings. For example: - GMC Traverse -
If buying new from dealer, I never ask for factory Tow Package "inclusion". They charge way too much. For me, I simply add my own ATF Aux cooler, add my own Timbren SES units, add my own Brake Controller and add my own Trailer hitch. And, I install at fraction of their selling price.
Hope this helps as well....
