Looking at purchasing a new camper to be towed by the Ranger (4X4 ) Lariet. We will only be traveling a max of 4 hours to campsites. We will be using a weight-distribution hitch and brake controller. Wondered your thought on the following specs.
Trailer 26' box 30ft overall
Dry Weight - 6000 w/propane
Tounge Weight 600
GVWR - 7000
Put the numbers in a calculator loading trailer to the max 7000 and 750 tongue weight (assumption) 2 passengers, and 200 lbs cargo including the hitch. We never travel with water so I don't see us ever getting to the GVWR of the trailer. The calculator came up with have 56 lbs of payload capacity to spare.
Is the assumption reasonable for tongue weight? Is this too much trailer for this truck (length/weight)? I know gas mileage will go down the tubes and I won't be a speed demon.
