I was at this point not too long ago. I believed the salesman hype and saw the simplified version of "the numbers" had me under the max weight, so I purchased the trailer.

As I was towing it, I found it was a lot of work. The trailer was always fighting with me as I was driving down the road. While at the first camping spot with our new trailer, I saw the light with the actual numbers and the wife and I started researching a new vehicle.

Not long after, we traded our (11 month old) 2018 GMC Yukon Denali for a 2019 GMC Sierra 3500 Denali diesel dually.

Yes, we lost money on the trade-in of our Yukon, but the difference in towing is extreme. It's too bad we got ourselves into that situation, but I'm so happy we got out of it and that it only cost us money.

I know the OP has a hard decision ahead. I hope he's able to get through it as we have.
