Hey everyone, I'm new here. I've been toying with the idea of spending a couple years traveling the US with my family full time before my kids are off on their own. My question is, what do you guys tow travel trailer wise? Model number and weight? Also, how do you feel the vehicle performs?
I bought a 2019 XLT 4x4 w/ max towing because I was uneducated about towing and thought with a 9,200 tow capacity I would be fine with anything under that number.... well as you know it turns out there is more to it than that.
Payload is shaping up to be our biggest hindrance in determining what we can tow since there are six of us total.
For any more experienced towers, how reliable is published hitch weight on a trailer? Should I go by that number or should I just assume 10 to 12 percent of the overall trailer weight?
Bonus points if you've got any pics of your rig, I'd like to see them!
