My wife and I are looking at upgrading our TT, currently we have a Crossfit 2200BH and I tow with a GMC AT4 1500 with the 3.0. One of the trailers we are looking at is the Keystone Cougar 25DBSWE.

My concern is it seems a little heavy for my truck.

Its unloaded weight is 6240 with a GCWR of 8800 and tongue weight of 800.

My truck has a tow capacity of 8900, payload of 1385 and GVCWR of 15,000. My wife, daughter, Lab and I around around 450 in weight for the truck.

With this I am calculating around 140 lbs of stuff I can have in the truck, and would have to keep the truck payload under its weight. I dont think I would ever max the trailer because the tanks on this one are huge, but it is about 500lbs heavier empty than the other TT we are looking at a GD 2400BH.

Thoughts? Thanks
