The wife and I are currently looking into purchasing a travel trailer for a cross country road trip in the fall. We’ve found one we like but I’m worried my truck won’t be enough to get the job done and would like the opinion of those who have towed something similar. I’m no stranger to towing and have towed similar numbers before, just not in a travel trailer.
Truck
21 ram 1500 4x4
Payload 1950
Towing 10000
3.91 dif
Trailer
Weight 6500
Tongue weight 750-820 ( I’ve seen various numbers)
33.5 ft long
On paper it looks as if it could work 1950-850tw-450passengers-300gear= 350 remaining pounds of payload. Is this a fair number or should I look at something smaller?
