TT size advice

I have always owned large fifth wheels pulling with 3/4 ton diesel. Will now be going to a TT. I own a 2017 4X4 1500 Crew Cab Silverado with a 5.3 gas with 3.42 rear end and 6 speed trans. The max tow rating is 9100. I am looking at either a 30 foot Imagine with a 5900 dry weight and 590 pound hitch weight or a 34 foot Imagine that has a 800 pound hitch weight and 7200 dry weight. Weโ€™re very experienced in loading with minimal weight, under 1000 pounds. Looking at a Center Line Husky distribution/weight hitch system. Not having the experience with TT, would appreciate your experiences with this type set up, good or bad. Thank you in advance.

Lighter is better especially since you have a 3.42 front and rear axle ratio.

In response to question on GVWR the 30 foot is 7500 and 34 foot is 9,000. The truck is 15,000.

Start all over again and forget about all the DRY weight numbers you posted. Also forget about the tow rating of your truck. It's not nearly as important as the Payload rating...

To get correct advice, post the GVWR of the trailers you are considering. Lots of experienced members here on the forum and start to give you good advice...
