Very few dealers will tell you that you don’t have enough TV, they are more interested in gross profits. I am glad your taking the time to ask, and it is a subject that can get heated in a hurry.

The best thing you can do is “run the numbers”. Use the GVWR of the trailer, not the empty weight and “ I won’t Carry much”.

Weigh your truck loaded with everything you’ll carry including the hitch. Then subtract that number from TV GVWR and see where it is.

I suspect you’ll be over and I refer you back to my original post.
