I'm not trying to bash your purchase but nothing is worse than a white knuckle experience on the trek to a relaxing trip. I have done that more times than I care to admit. You may find yourself upgrading to a 3/4 ton.
Btw welcome to the forum. Lots of good knowledge and forum etiquette here.

I agree. Our 303bhssr took 3 trips to the scales to get very comfortable towing with a 3/4 ton. I am still upgrading to a Hensley because with this long TT in the wind, and highway trucks passing, I want the best insurance policy for sway.
