Re: Need help choosing a TT my truck will pull

It's rated at 8,600 max towing capacity. Thoughts? This is exactly where I'm at.461Views0likes0CommentsRe: Need help choosing a TT my truck will pull

Thanks for these suggestions all! I myself would prefer going smaller as in the Camplite but will have a hard time selling that to my wife who is used to the 37' Class A. I'm really trying to stay in the 27'-30' range. Having had the MH for 10 years we experienced a few features that we would like to have. Street side slideout a must, a curbside slideout takes up all of your outside space under the awning. Wife wants no entry door in the bedroom. Free standing table/chairs preferred and need the 80" bed. I'm on floorplan overload right now as I've been looking way too much. I knew it would be tough getting as many of our want list in the same unit. I'll probably step back for a bit as we are in no rush. The RV show comes to town in a month :)460Views0likes0CommentsRe: Need help choosing a TT my truck will pull
Interesting comparison. I know the truck has decent power as I have pulled a car trailer with a big Pontiac on it, probably around 5500#. No special hitch or brakes, just needed to get it home, ~ 200 miles. I think I have seen enough here to look for a dry weight of 6000#.349Views0likes0Comments
