Which vehicles could work for my RV?
Hi Everyone! I'm a brand new rv'er and would love some advice. I have a 2615lb hard-sided travel trailer. I will be purchasing a new vehicle this year and I want to make sure I'll be able to safely...

Stopping safely, also assumes the trailer has working brakes. If not, then you're unsafe and potentially illegal depending on the jurisdiction you are driving thru.
Also, how many people in vehicle? If you have a family of 6 like I did, wit 4 adult sized kids/teens. We weighed 1200-1300 lbs. Putting many of these vehicles at GVW before hooking up the trailer. So these vehicles in realty, had no ability to tow a trailer with proper hitch weight.
I've towed safe over under ratings, along with knowing I was unsafe both over and u det ratings. Tow ratings are a go power performance standard. If the trailer has no hitch weight, sways, but under ratings, you have an unsafe and potentially illegal setup, depending on how Dar side to side the trade sways.
