Howdy! Don't have a truck yet, and trying to estimate how much payload I need.
Listed tongue weight is 490, curious what are people's real-world tongue weights? [That's question #1]
I would think worst case is 15% of 7K lbs GVWR = 1050 lbs, so I am using 1K as my placeholder estimate.
If we add two humans, one dog and misc loading in the truck, my WAG is that will add another 500 lbs. (Our typical use case will be the two of us going on a 4-6 week trip covering multiple states.)
That's 1500lbs of known load, so with a 20% safety margin I want to look for 1800lbs of payload. That's out of the range of most "well-equipped" half tons that I have seen yellow weight stickers for, and none of the configurators seem to give you an actual payload for a given option load.
What payload capacity do you have to tow your EII? [Q #2] What is that tow vehicle and how is it configured? [Q #3] What is your dream tow vehicle? [Q#4]
Thanks!
Enjoy,
David
