I have a 2017 Bighorn Crew Cab, 4x4, 3.21 gears, tow group (tow mode, class IV, and trailer brake), 5.7" bed, with 5.7 engine.
I understand I have an 1,500 payload and 8,000lb tow rating. I'm looking for advise on the "sweet" spot for a camper. I am looking at several models and most are in the 2,500-4,000lb and 14-20ft range. I want to keep overhead and be far off the maximum as I want the travel to not be white knuckle, especially in Colorado hills that can get me above 11k elevation.
I've read a bunch of threads but I'm just looking for a sort of "max comfortable" weight I should target or not exceed. Hopefully that makes sense
