So I did a search... and yes I am a newbie.
I am looking for a TT and I already have a Tow vehicle: 06 Suburban 2500 4x4 6.0L.
Now here's where it gets tricky, the stated Tow Weight (3.73s) is 7600#
The GCWR is 14,000, and the curb weight is 6074.
GCWR - Curb = 7926, I figure passengers (~650 lbs (me, wife, 4 boys and some stuff)), well that would leave 7276# which would mean I am already below the stated Tow Weight.
And if I read correctly, I should look for a trailer with no more than say .9 * 7276 = 6548#
And then using for the TT the GVWR of 6550 or less right?
I'd really like a Quad Bunkhouse setup, somewhere in the 25-30ft range, but most seem heavier than that..any recommendations?
