Thank you for that information! So if the TT weighs less than 6000 with the tanks full you are saying we would be okay?The Rubicon with an automatic 8 speed transmission with the 4.10 gears is rated to tow 7,000 pounds. The manual transmission is rated at 4,500 pounds. That's according to the Tow Rating Guide that RV Dealerships use to determine what peoples trucks can tow.
The general rule is buy an RV that is 1,000 pounds below your max. SO, your RV should weigh less than 6,000 pounds. IF you want to be conservative go 1,500 pounds below. I would only do that if you plan on traveling in the mountains a lot.
You definitely need a weight distribution kit and a power tongue jack on the RV. It will make a big difference in the stability of your tow vehicle and the RV. You will also need to add a brake controller to the RV.
Have fun out there.
