So back to my truck/trailer problem.......... So you all think even the SV-234 is too heavy too? I'm beginning to think the odds are against us on this whole camping thing.
Look you have gotten balled up by falling for a particular trailer. Go back to step one:
1. Determine the exact tow rating of your truck. Since that depends on the rear end ratio, get a dealer or a Ford mechanic to tell you what yours is.
2. Look up the rating in the Ford website or the Trailer Life website -- that's what we do.
3. If you would tow in the mountain or Pacific west take 80% of that fiigure, if not then take 90%.
4. With the resulting number start looking for trailers that have a GVWR less than it.
You can fiind the GVWR on the DOT plate required to be posted on the trailer, usually on the left side front. You can also see it listed on the mfr websites sometimes as dry weight + carrying capacity. Manufacturer brochures will also list it. No other source of GVWR can be trusted -- especially the salesman source.
5. With your number, shop RV shows. They are particularly valuable in your kind of search. The next best thing is going around dealership yards.
Look at the light weight TTs, 24 feet on down, and the hybrids -- I think you will have your best luck with the hybribs
Unfortunately nothing replaces leg work here.
