The Gross Combined Weight of 9500 should tell you enough. That is the combined weight of the TV, payload you add to the truck bed or passenger compartment including driver and passenger and the total weight of the trailer you want to tow. All total is limited to 9500 lbs. Deduct the weight of any trailer you are interested in, ex: 4000lbs, and you are left with 5500. Deduct the weight of the TV, ex: 4000lbs, and you are left with 1500lbs for passengers, camping gear, stuff ... This set up offers a safe towing combination. Please note the weight difference offers in response #2 and response #3. Dry weight of 3000lbs vs 3980lbs towed weight. Difference is dry weight is offered by the factory without mounted AC, propane tanks, batteries, camping gear, supplies, contents of fresh water tank, water heater contents, etc. The difference of 1000lbs adds up very quickly.
