We have a 33'7" Jayco Octane toyhauler. Loaded for travel, nothing in the rear, the tongue weight is 2080# by scale. With 2 Harley dressers in the rear, the tongue weight is 1840#. Our 2015 GMC 3500 diesels' factory hitch was not rated enough for the tongue wt. Upgraded to a Curt 20,000#, 2,700 TW hitch. With 2 adults, 2 dogs, a cap on the truck and misc in rear of truck, we are at 10,900 on the truck. Toyhaulers are notorious for high tongue weight. I would expect you to exceed the trucks rear axle and or payload with a trailer that size. Just my experience for what it's worth.
This is good info, thanks.
Looks like the trailer that you have and what I'm looking at are similar in size, the website for the Cherokee shows the dry weight as 8721 lbs and the dry hitch weight of 1173. Your 2080# TW is a lot more than I was thinking it would be. Is that just your families gear, or does that include water in the tank?
