I have been talking to some truck guys around here and we are looking at

I tow my 4500 lb boat with a 5.3L Suburban and while it does fine I
wouldn't want much more weight behind me. What is the trailer weight
and what kind of brakes does it have? Check what the vehicle is rated
to tow and leave some margin. Consider all the crap you load into it.


Yeah, the setup we are considering now is a 17 foot at 3200 pounds. That
leaves me almost 2000 pounds for crap...
