Towing a 31.5 Travel trailer

dcracing2 said:

I'm looking at purchasing a 31.5 foot travel trailer and I'm not sure if my titan will tow it safely!
My truck is a 06 cc 4x4 w\o tow package but I'm getting the BT gears installed this week! I also have a 6" lift and 35" tires. I have air bags, trailer brakes and a equalizer hitch will be installed .
The trailer specs are 31.5', 6,300lbs dry, 3260lbs carrying cap, 60gal fresh water, 30gal waste, 64gal gray.
Would just like some opinions if it would be ok. (would like to get the 31.5' for the growing family)

Thanks

That is a bit long, yes your truck can do it, but if you want a safe and easy trip, look for something shorter and lighter..

When you do decide on a trailer, I will give you the folllowin suggestions
Equal-I-Zer or Reece dual cam (Get the one rated for your true tounge weight)
Prodigy Brake Controler or better (Check RVwholesalers.com for best pricing)
Air Bags.
LT tires..

Whats the difference in the brake controllers. I have a reese controller, is that a decent one? What would my true tongue weight be?
I have 35x12.50x18 Toyo M\T's are they considered a LT tire and are the acceptable for towing.

One at a time.

Not sure, but if is working for you, use the reece, the prodigy just offers some advanced features and works really well. (No manual set-up, the abilty to be mounted a lot easier since severe angles don't effect it as much, boost control and a few other nice touches)

No idea on the tounge weight, but what ever is listed, double it to be safe.. As for dry weights, most are listed without options and if you have a long option list, well then you have a much heavier trailer. Check the cabinets of the trailer and see if you can find the trailers weight sticker for truer dry weight. I just plan on being at max GVW of the trailer no matter what and it safer that way.

More than likely it's an LT tire, but check Toyo's website to be sure.
