There's a couple stickers on the drivers door post that will have ALL the pertinent numbers for YOUR truck that are needed to match to a suitable rv. As I said the tow weight means nothing along with any numbers printed in any brochures or other publications & for sure nothing any salesperson may have bragged about.

Yeah got that part. Thats why I tried to specify the sticker on my truck door,
"9.75" axle rated at 14,000 lbs by manufacturer but 3950 according to my truck sticker."
So far I am not at the 3950 but I'm close. Interesting though, I have put 400 more pounds in the truck then weighed it and the WDH did great distributing the weight across all the axles, it only added 150 lbs to the rear axle instead of 400 lbs.
