I think there are some good RV sales folks out there, that will honestly tell you how much you can safely tow with your truck, but I've not met any yet. The truck dealers aren't motivated in the same way as your RV dealer, but I think they just don't know (in general).

We had a 1/2 ton tow vehicle which based on the max tow weight seemed to be adequate for our trailer. We quickly realized it wasn't - that's when we came here and began getting advice and training from all the great knowledgeable folks here. We've since traded our 1/2-ton in for a 1-ton truck. Much better now.

There's more to what it takes to tow than just the max vehicle weight, so listen to the advise and make your decision.

Good luck - and good for you for asking.
