[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3259008, member: 7900"] First of all, look into the towing capacity of the pickup. Not the manufacturer's "tow rating," but the Gross Combined Vehicle Weight rating, which is the truck's total capacity. Then, figure out the weight of the trailer you want and get the weight of the truck with full fuel, passengers, and any cargo in the truck, and then add those two numbers together to see if the truck's GCVW is more than the total of the two. Having towed a bunch of RV,s and having one now that weighs 18,500 lbs loaded, I can attest that a lot of folks end up buying a truck too small to "handle" the RV they want. "Handling" means more than just pulling. One needs one that can safely stop the vehicle with trailer attached as well. [/QUOTE]
