It is amazing how fast weight adds up... I rolled through the scales recently with my 3/4 ton and "1/2 ton towable" TT. And I don't carry anything special - just a few kids and the basic camping stuff. Heck, I was even on my way home so most of the beer and firewood were gone. I was surprised to only be 600lbs under the max 9200 weight for combined axles. 600lbs is still a lot of weight and, much to the dispute of the weight police, there IS a fudge factor for sure built in to the ratings. My point is even with a 3/4 ton and modest TT the max weight is closer than you might think.
