So, I've read through the main posts here on the forum about what the "real" math behind towing is, and I'm even more confused now than I was before.
My truck specs are below, and according to the Dealer, The website, and every thing else I can research my Bighorn's towing capacity should be sitting at just north of 11,000lbs. However, the door sticker says 7100lbs.
The Trailer I'm looking at is the No Boundries 19.8 - a spicy little 22' https://forestriverinc.com/rvs/travel-trailers/no-boundaries/NB19.8/4680 that should come in at around 5k when loaded up with water, batteries, propane and misc gear. (It's 3700ish dry)
Did I just waste a bunch of money by not getting a 2500, since my goal is in the next couple years is to retire and travel around the country in that little trailer. Is everything I thought I knew about towing wrong, and my "supposedly" beefy Hemi E-Torque with 3.92 gears and max towing package just a smoke screen?
Help!?
