wow i had no clue that this information (how much i can tow) would be so hard to get, i have had figures from 9000 to 4000, the trailer will be parked on a seasonable site next year so was just looking to tow a couple of times the end of this year. a 4000 to 4500 lb trailer wont do as they are small, the ZT27L is a 27 foot box with tongue to bumper coming in a little under 31 foot and weighing 6830 ( a 18 footer which im assuming would come in around 4000 lbs is to small)233Views0likes0CommentsRe: long time tent camper moving up

Then go look for a TT that is 500 lbs or so under your GVWR that you can tow. Don't look at dry weight. If you have a tow package you should be around 7-8k in towing ability. If you are not sure check with your manual. the sticker GVWR is7100 Talking to the dealer he said my truck can tow 9000 i am thinking a little high we are looking right now at the zinger 27RL dry weight sticker on inside cupboard is 6830 im a retired city tractor trailer driver so not worried about towing but want something my truck can handle233Views0likes0Comments
