The most overlooked and misunderstood key to safe RV towing…Payload and how it effects Towing Capacity!
All too often, many think that just because the brochure says their truck can tow 5000lbs or 10000lbs or even more that you can get a trailer of that weight and safely tow it down the road PLUS add all your gear and passengers…Sadly this is incorrect! In actuality your vehicle that can tow 5000lbs on paper can maybe only pull 3500lbs, or your pickup rated at 10000lbs may only actually be able to pull 8000lbs.
Payload is the overlooked key to safe Towing…take a listen and use the attached spreadsheet to calculate your True Safe Towing Capacity!
Happy Safe Towing and Camping!!
