Can I Tow This With My Truck?
My wife and I are making some changes in our lives trying to inch ever closer to our dream of traveling around the U.S. We are both outdoor enthusiasts and want to see and explore this majestic count...

You are probably OK but right at the limit. As noted, it might tow that weight, but your limiting factor is the payload capacity. I have a RAM with a 10,300 tow rating, but ONLY a 1450 payload capacity. You put a hitch on at 500 plus lbs then a 150 lb WDH , then the two 100 lb dogs in the crewcab and the 280 between the significant other and I and fill up a 32 gallon gas tank at 8 lbs a gallon of gas and well, you can do the math. I'm there.
What will your math look like? And so, I can theoretically tow 10,300 but one I always want a cushion and two my capacity is the limiting factor. I want camping to be fun and not be worried as the trailer makes me a nervous wreck while driving it across country. How many slide outs, couches and islands in the middle of the living space can a person want camping. So, I'm looking at 27 foot max including tongue and 500 lb hitch weights and end up in the 5,000 dry weight range.
