There are a lot of super light campers out their, but I'd like to have a gross trailer weight number in my head before I look at them.
I currently pull a 16 foot boat without much trouble.
Your input will be appreciated.  |
As mentioned already, you're limited to 6500 to 7400 LBS depending on model. The main thing you don't have that the tow package does is the lower tow gearing. All Titans have the tranny coolers and for 08.5, all but the XEs also have the tranny temp guage. I would have gone with the tow package seeing as it adds only a few hundred dollars to the price.
You can find some real nice "LITE" models that are a good size, or you can get a regular model TT in a smaller size and still be well within your towing weights. Good luck.
