Host Tahoe SB question

Question

Hey all! Been a weird year glad to be starting a new one. Sold the Northern Lite so DW could try recreating in a 5er. Got a new old truck to haul the trailer. Work, forest fires, etc., returning to a TC.

One we are looking at is a Host Tahoe short bed version. They don’t post COG specs. I emailed Host that question and they said 50”. Curious if anyone here owns one and can confirm it. Thanks in advance.

At over 3300 pounds dry weight I think your going to need kore truck first.

Unless you plan to upgrade to 19.5" tires and only tow with light or no hitch weight, you would be better off Ram's DRW short bed for this camper. It is possible to outfit your current truck, but there will be cost and limitations.

New “old” truck is Ram 3500 drw.  I’m pretty confident in the upgrade of our truck.  Just have not changed the info in our sig line.

You might want to look at the long bed Rainier or Cascade rather than the short bed Tahoe with the current truck.

Is your DRW a Mega short bed?

If you have a drw then you have virtually no concern over c of g. Don’t worry about it. Wouldn’t even worry with a shortbed truck with a Diesel engine for ballast.
