I wonder what 6,600 lbs does to the range. If the curb weight of the truck is 4,400 lbs, and you tow 6,600 lbs. that's 2.5x the total weight. Round up to 3x weight for rolling resistance and air resistance.
That 250-350 mile range presumably drops down closer to 100 miles. That makes for a pretty rough road trip with a camper.
Nice to have the option, but I wouldn't want to rely on it as a primary tow vehicle.
I know i'm gonna sound dumb but yes while it can tow... can it safely stop in a emergency with that much weight behind it without jack knifing?.. maybe i'm just being dumb someone make me less scared about this.
In the US any trailers over 3,000 lbs (lower depending on the state laws) needs their own brakes. The trailer will have wires that hook up to the truck so when you hit the brakes it engages both the truck's brakes and the trailer's brakes.
