I used to tow my TT with my max tow gladiator. Payload was 1683, max towing was 7650 lbs. the TT tongue weight was around 850.
Your right on point that it’s the payload that goes first. We drove in two separate vehicles, just made things easier. We only do like 3 trips per year.
Be conscious of not loading the rear of the TT too much… that rear weight can enhance sway significantly.
When towing heavy… you need to do the following:
1) Have a brake controller, set up correctly.
2) WDH with build in tension sway control, bot the crappy sway bar add on, set up correctly.
3) drive safely and not fast. Most TT tires are onto rated to be ran at 55 mph. I hardly ever went over 60.
Most all TT accidents aren’t because things are overloaded, but because they don’t have a WDH and sway control built in and OR more likely driving wayyyyy to fast!! A co-worker of mine totaled her rig…. She was driving 80 on a straight stretch and sway got control of her.
