Well I think we almost made the classic beginner mistake for a 5th wheeler. Almost bought to much trailer for the tow vehicle we have. Have a 2015 Silverado 2500HD, V-8, 6.0 gasser, 4:10 gears. GVW 9,500, GCVW 20,500, max usable payload 2,600lbs.
We really liked the 3400QB and just by going on manufacturer claims and sales brochures, thought I had the truck to handle it. But after much research on here and other forums, I realized we could be well over our limits. Just the pin weight alone would have maxed or put us over.
Anyway now thinking of the XLT series and staying between 10,000 and 11,000 Trailer GVW. Does anyone have any experience with them? Specifically the XLT 298BH.
Thanks all and still hope to join the family!
