Spent several weekends listening to TT salesmen and found a trailer hubby and I both like -- a Lance 1685. Now we need a reality check.
Tow vehicle is a 2004 Tundra SR5 V8 Double Cab, 4x4, w/tow package. Weighed weight is 5500 lbs with shell, bed liner, one person and a 1/3 tank of gas (add in one average size husband,one 45 lb Border Collie, more gas and a WDH). Tow capacity is 6600 lbs, GCWR 11,800. Tongue wt 690 lbs.
The Lance 1685 is 3405 lbs unloaded (I read somewhere that the Factory Weight is 3877 lbs with full propane, batteries and spare tire), hitch weight 275 lbs, GVWR 5400 lbs (CCC is abt 2000 lbs).
I've crunched the numbers several times and, while it's a little on the "high side", it seems do-able. What am I missing?
