Jayco Eagle HT and 2015 Supercab
We recently picked up this trailer, a 2016 Jayco Eagle HT 27.5. This photo is from our maiden voyage about 50 miles from home. Truck is a 2015 Supercab 4X4 with the 5.0 and 3.55 rearend with max tow package. Truck is equipped with the Reese Custom Rail kit and a Reese 16K hitch. I also installed Supersprings. With the Supersprings the bed drops about 3" when loaded. The trailer is equipped with a Reese Revolution / Sidewinder Hitch for shortbed trucks. Now, with this combination the truck carries only my wife, the dogs, and me to give us some room on the max gross vehicle weight. I have about 1300 pounds to max combined weight. Truck travels great down the road. Handles the hills okay and tracks true.
If I had another option I wish I would have gone to the 3.73 rear end. Maybe I'll upgrade later.

Zoinks Scoobe! Whats payload on that ****? Tongue weight on conventional tow is 10-15% ideal for trailer, but for 5th wheel pin-weight is more like 20-25%.
20% if your lucky, but there's no way you're going to 25% without being over payload.

Finally get to join the club
Picked up our first TT a couple weeks ago, after searching for the "right" one for two years. Hope to get it out soon for a shake down trip.
