yavery Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Hi All, I'm wondering if anyone has any experience towing Ultra-Light (but not ultra-short) travel trailers (TT) with a 2005/2006 GX470. I know it has a theorical rating of 6,500 pounds ... but what about real life ... I'm facing a dilema and don't know which TT model I should be getting in order to have safe journeys when hauling (handling and stopping included!) ... #1) TT dry weigth: 4328 GVWR: 6000 exterior length: 27'1" #2) TT dry weight: 4530 GVWR: 6000 exterior length: 30'3" #3) shorter and lighter models ... What scares me a bit is the length of these trailers. Do you think I could safely tow #1 and maybe #2, or maybe none of them? Should I be looking for a shorter TT. Please me let me know what you think. Stupid question, when they say 6,500 pounds, does that include the SUV passengers and any fuel in the tank or is it 6,500 pounds just for the actual trailer and whatever is in the trailer? Thanks in advance for sharing your own experience if any ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
