New guy here, looking for advice from those more experienced.
I have a 2007 Chevy Suburban half ton, 3.73 rear end and 5.3L V8. My tow capacity is 7000 lbs. We like the Jayco 23mb TT, gvwr = 6500 lbs.
We live in MT and plan to camp around the northern Rockies. Curious is anyone has input on how our tow vehicle will work with this trailer.
i have a 2007 Avalanche, essentially a Burb with a truck bed.
i also have the 5.3 with the 3.73 rear end.
you should be fine with that trailer.
i tow my HTT that weighs around 5500lbs. loaded, thru the Sierras, Cascades, Siskyous nad Rockies with no problems.
Thanks for the feedback. I'm guessing that loaded the trailer will be closer to 6000 lbs. That will be under capacity but I always assumed it's better to not max out. Plus I know I'll have to watch my payload with kids, gear, tongue weight, etc.
We need an suv but I'd prefer to keep this rig and not get a 3/4 ton burb.
