Exactly what Carringb said. There is only one 2007+ 3/4 ton SUV, but the 1000 pound receiver limit means no to that Jayco Eagle 314. There are however other TTs that are closer to 7k dry that would work pretty well with it. Ford discontinued 3/4 ton SUV after 2005. GM after 2013, but it has that recevier limit at 1000 pounds.
Please correct me if I am wrong here, with the 1000lbs receiver limit, how does that translate to 'dry hitch weight'. On the Eagle TT the dry hitch weight (lbs) is '903'...?
Assuming the TV has a class IV receiver hitch, with a weight distribution hitch wouldn't that increase it over 1000lbs?
Seems a bit daft that manufacturers of the larger suv's have ditched the idea of class IV hitches or not being able to upgrade...
makes the whole process frustrating...
cheers,
