Keystone RV Forums - View Single Post - Trying to decide between Passport 2670BH and Cougar 29BHS

Welcome to the forum!! I am positive your wife will love camping in either trailer.

IMO the 29bhs is stretching your 1/2 ton. With a gvw of 8200 that is on the outside limits of what I would put on a 1/2 ton. The Passport on the other hand comes in at less than 7000 lbs. and would be much easier to tow. You didn't give your payload/carrying capacity (on the sticker inside the driver door). That will also give you some additional guidance.

The tongue weight of the Cougar could approach 1200 lbs. and your payload could be a significant limiting factor. The Passport should be less than 1000.

The Cougar is 34' long which can be a handful with a 1/2 ton in wind, passing trucks etc.

Check the weights on the truck and you can post them here and folks will chime in.
