Should've bought a 3/4 ton truck. Too much TW and IMO too long.
@34'5" long and with a brochure dry TW of 882lbs it's way too much for the Armada. And if you put 1500lbs of gear in the TT you'll be maxed out according to FS it only has 1512lbs for CC.
You need to look at TT's in the 5000lb dry range with higher CC ratings. You don't want the TT near max when loaded.
A 5000lb dry weight TT will be6000-65000lbs when loaded. That gives you a TW of 750-800lbs. Another thing to check is the Armadas CC rating that should be listed on the door. Take that number and subtract passenger weight and anything else you will have in the Armada when towing. The left over CC will be what's available for the TT's tongue weight.
Most important when looking is to not listen to the RV sales person. Chances are they will sell you something to big for the Armada. There are helpful sales people but though.
