BTW, one other factor to consider besides GVWR is aerodynamic drag. Once you get moving that impacts how hard it is to stay moving. One reason I went with the 2106 DS was it is narrower than some...

Not sure why you say not including any weight of the trailer. What about the tongue or pin weight?

Interesting story about the 5th wheel. There are some who tow small 5th wheels with...

Somewhat similar--garage based purchase, but I always wanted to have plenty of margin on towing capacity. The 2106DS is actually larger than what I envisioned buying, but I really liked the tandem...

Yep, that's your new payload. Did you add any accessories like I did? (Side steps, T-cover)?

Well of course it counts, but the question is how much can you carry.

Many trucks/vehicles will give you a payload number, which is really just a calculation of GVWR less what the vehicle weighs...

I would weigh it with you inside as well as a normal load of passengers when you tow, as well as whatever you typically keep in the bed when you tow. That will give you a better idea of what your...

I only bought it in January, and pulled it basically twice. Home and one camping trip. But I did pull a similar weight rental with no issues and did a few test passes without issue. It didn't have...

I tow a 2106DS with a Colorado Duramax crewcab, the latter of which I list having a curb weight of 4753 (but I'm not sure where I got that number). I've added side bars/steps and a hard T-cover. ...
