Your doing good! The owners manuals are printed for a wide variety of models and not specific to yours.

The reason we are asking about the yellow sticker on the drivers door is because it is specific to YOUR truck. Choice of hitch can have a huge impact on what size/weight trailer you can safely/legally hook up to. Good W/D with sway will weigh in the neighborhood of 75-100 pounds. You can get a hitch that weighs more than 200 pounds and costs more than $2500.00. Is it better? I don’t tow a TT so I can’t say.

Once you have the truck numbers, then look for a trailer that fits. The 13% of GVWR is probably a good place to start as it should include the battery and propane. It can be a long tiresome task, but you don’t want to skimp on your safety, and the safety of others.
