Hello everybody,
New to the KZ forum and considering purchasing a new 292RLLE (https://www.kz-rv.com/products/sportsmen-le-travel-trailers/292RLLE.html).
My TV is a 2015 Silverado 5,3 w/3.42 gears w/factory tow package. We currently have a Jayco expandable x23b and it's rated at 5k loaded. I am wondering if anyone else pulls something with similar weight and length "comfortably" with a Chevy or GMC of the like. We do have a Reese dual cam WDH and I am familiar pulling something this size (but not weight) as we owned a 30+ foot TT in the past pulling in a Dodge Durango, although white knuckled! The truck is rated at 9100 but I know you need to look at GCWR when choosing the right TT for your needs. I live in PA and typically travel on mostly hilly roads but not major mountains. We never carry water and it's usually just the wife and me in the truck, although we may have two other "young adults" kids.... with us. Additional options would be the fantastic fan, slide toppers, and additional awning (11'). Could add a few hundred pounds to the TT.
Anyways, would love some input on this as we REALLY loved the layout and the build quality of the KZ and would want to pull the trigger on this unit very soon.
Thanks,
Ken aka Boondocs.
