We're looking at purchasing a 2014 Wildcat Maxx 26BHS. I'm wondering if this trailer is too heavy for the Armada to pull?
The dry weight is 6200lbs with a hitch weight of 705lbs. We live in the Rockies so I'm concerned with the weight and grades of the mountain passes we will be traveling through. I'm planning on using the Equalizer 10k hitch. I believe I'm well within the recommended towing capacity, but wanted to hear from the experts here. I've spoken to a few dealers and they've all said I'm fine, but know they just want to make a sale. I want to be safe on the open roads. I figure we will be between 7k and 7.5k loaded. More than anything I'm concerned about the hitch weight when loaded. The other item I should mention is that the GVWR is a whopping 10,865lbs on this TT (something I'll never even come close to, but thought I should mention it).
Thanks.
