My truck is rated at 13k conventional towing and 14k GN. If I go GN, I gain 1k lbs towing but the trailer will likely be 500 lbs heavier so only gaining 500 lbs towing. GN trailer will cost abt $500 more plus equiping my truck with hitch will be abt $400. Bumper pull gains me bed space but a may lose tongue weight but I do already have a weight distributing hitch but find them yet another step when loading. Truck is a Chevy 2500 6L. Any other advantages to a GN? What would you do?
I ran Into the same thing. I had a GN and now a bumper pull. For me it's the way to go. I gain so much with the bed that I was able to get a smaller trailer that I can keep in the Garage, 18' BP vs 25' GN.
