Think I found the right trailer but could use some advise.

More than enough truck for that Imagine trailer.

As long as you dont put a lot of weight in the TV you should be fine - at least on paper. That's a fairly short TV and only actual experience will tell if it's stable.

I tow a Retro 195, which is 25' hitch to rear bumper. It weighs 3800 dry, so it's probably around 4500 loaded, although I admit (Shhhh...are the weight police listening?) (whispering) I have never weighed it loaded.

We towed this trailer 8,600 miles last spring without a single problem (except for a nail in a tire on the TV). Anyway, I think you will be fine...unless you insist on putting 1750 lbs. of stuff in the trailer. Of course, then there wouldn't be room for you, so...

Only problem I see is hitch weight might be to light. It is not even 10 percent
mine was always about 14 to keep sway down

even with true weight I think you are good to go and have fun

If you calculate hitch weight using the TT's gross weight of 6995, at 13% its 909 lbs. Maybe you won't load it to its gross weight, but your dreaming if you believe the hitch weight will be 423. You can't even get that low if you use the unloaded weight of 4945 - that comes to 643 lbs.

Good luck

Look at the paperwork for the specific 2150 you have in mind. GD lists the actual weights, including left side, right side, and tongue weight.
Your truck should be just fine.
Equalizer is the standard by which all other hitches are compared to.
Lots of people are running Blue Ox too.
I have a Reese dual cam, 10 years old that I got heavier bars for the new TT.

I tow a GD 2150RB with my Dodge Durango 5.7 Hemi. With a WDH it tows fine. The engine revs between 3500-4000RPM on 6% plus grades which for the Hemi is fine. On the flats is between 1800 & 2200RPM. On my last two trips I averaged between 8.5 MPG and 10.5 MPG.

Actual numbers off my sticker are;
PAYLOAD: 1,271 lbs
DRY WT: 5,384 lbs

You should be fine.

Hey , I heard that ! :B

robsox, IMO i think your truck will be ok. I went from a Class B to a TT as well, using a Mazda pickup.
Going from "B" to "TT", pay attention to fuel mpg while towing, if your used to having a larger fuel tank and better fuel mileage in your "B", you might find yourself stopping more often with a TT behind a pickup with a 26 gal tank and maybe less mpg than your used to (headwinds of frontal area).


If your towing experience should feel anything that does feel right , (before you blame the truck) check the hitching procedure.
Make sure you know the proper hitching procedure of your brand of WD hitch to fine tune the handling of your combo. (many videos avl on youtube and etrailer.com of your specific hitch)

Its all adjustable and when done correctly, your truck should get the job done.

Thanks everybody for the detailed replies, and I agree, their listed hitch weight must be incorrect.

I'm going to look at both a 2016 and 2017 but I'm leaning more to the 2017 because of added insulation and a few other things they've upgraded.

I have a lot more learning to do but I do appreciate all of the advise given throughout this forum, I honestly don't know if I could have figured this stuff out without the months of lurking I've done!

I had a 2008 PRO-4X and towed a 25 ft. BigFoot which weighed 6,000# loaded. The rear drooped 3" upon initial hook up which was remedied with a Reese SC hitch with anti-sway. I also put on air bags to level the truck the extra 1" after dialing in the hitch, took 20# of air. The truck pulled that trailer very well with never a hint of sway. Make sure you have a good brake controller and TT brakes are adjusted as the Titan brakes could get overwhelmed (might have been upgraded). The 5.6 had plenty of power to get the job done although it had to be wound up at times which was no problem. Safe travels.
