Either you have enough or you have to live with the fact that you are overloading your vehicle and increasing the wear and tear. 3. Cost. TTs are a hobby and should not pose and undue cost burden on the family. Almost everything else is opinions and choice. Good Luck Got it all covered sir, gas mileage went to ****. It pulled good at 70mph, I just want to get it weighed to see where I'm at.600Views0likes0CommentsRe: Too Many Choices For Newcomer

By "6500 lbs" I assume you're referring to your Tacy's trailer tow rating ... if so, that doesn't mean you can tow any trailer actually weighing that much but that the total weight of everything, not just the trailer, can be as much as 6500 lbs. However, even if you towed anywhere near that you'd be towing at 100% capacity of the vehicle which most don't find particularly pleasant. Good luck! :B You are correct sir... I did take it on a small trip, only 1.5hrs away. aside from gas mileage (sucks) it went well.. I've been trying to keep weight down to a minimum, whenever possible, all tanks empty etc... Where can I get it weighed?600Views0likes0CommentsRe: Too Many Choices For Newcomer

Empty weight is 4140. Selling my Jeep for this, so It has to be worth it Rent a similar sized trailer and do a long weekend\week long trip. You'll get an idea of how your vehicle handles the weight and what things you find important in a trailer. too late, I already own it,,, Rode home just fine, considering I forget to hook up my brake controller ..600Views0likes0Comments
