Find the Right RV
for Your Vehicle

Enter your truck's year, make, model, and trim in the tool above. We'll show you the maximum tow rating, the recommended safe limit (80% rule), and every RV in our inventory that falls within your vehicle's safe towing range.

Never tow more than 80% of your vehicle's rated maximum. For a truck rated at 10,000 lbs, limit your trailer GVWR to 8,000 lbs. This provides a safety margin for wind, mountain grades, emergency braking, and the weight of passengers and cargo in the tow vehicle.

GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) is the manufacturer's maximum allowable loaded weight of the trailer — including all cargo, water, passengers, and gear. Always compare GVWR to your vehicle's towing capacity, never dry weight (the empty trailer weight).

Yes — modern half-ton trucks like the Ford F-150 (up to 13,000 lbs), RAM 1500 (up to 12,750 lbs), and Chevrolet Silverado 1500 (up to 13,300 lbs) can tow smaller fifth wheels under 10,000 lbs GVWR. Use our tool above to check your specific truck and trim.

Tongue weight is the downward force the trailer places on your hitch ball or kingpin. For conventional trailers, it should be 10–15% of the trailer's loaded weight. Too little causes trailer sway; too much puts excessive load on the tow vehicle's rear axle. Class IV hitches typically handle up to 1,000–1,500 lbs tongue weight.

Generally yes, if your trailer's tongue weight exceeds 10% of your vehicle's curb weight, or if the trailer exceeds 5,000 lbs. A weight distribution hitch (WDH) levels the load front-to-rear, restores steering control, and dramatically improves handling — especially at highway speeds.

Many trucks require an optional factory tow package to achieve their maximum rated towing capacity. It typically adds a transmission cooler, upgraded radiator, heavy-duty flasher, trailer wiring harness, and sometimes a Class IV hitch receiver. Always check whether your truck is equipped with one before hitching up.

If your trailer has electric brakes (most RVs over 3,500 lbs do), a brake controller is required by law in most states. It synchronizes the trailer's electric brakes with your tow vehicle's braking. Our service center can install one.
