So like any other new person that's bought a travel trailer I probably have put the cart before the horse. So ultimately the question is can I tow this...
I have a 2019 GMC Sierra Elevation DC 4x4 with the tow package and the L84 engine and a 3.23 gear ratio. The limitations are
9400lb Towing capacity
7000lb gvwr
15000 GCWR
3800 GAWR RR
940 tongue weight
The trailer I bought was a 2020 Venture Sport Trek 322VRL with
1010 dry hitch weight
7580 dry weight
8820 loaded weight
So I know that the owners manual for the truck gives specs and limitations and states any trailer must have a WDH and then shows 50%? So can I tow thing or what?
Thank you all in advance and will appreciate any feedback.
You are well over on the tongue weight limit.
Also check if you aren't over the payload limit. With only a 7000lb GVWR, once you take the curb weight plus hitch weight, you may be out of payload before loading anything in the truck.
I'm also suspicious of the trailer payload. By the numbers there is only around 1200lb CCC in the trailer...you'd be surprised how quickly you can get up above 2000lb of cargo.
