Not true in all states. In MO I can hook up to a D8 if I wanted to as long as I have the proper plates.

The weights the manufacturer advertises on their brochures and actual weights are always different. My last TT was a 30' Sunset Trail Reserve. The weight of it at the scales without any gear was 1500lbs heavier than stated in the brochure. The same was true with my TT I had before that one, only it was 1,000lbs heavier. Most salesman will tell you that a 1/2 ton will handle just about any TT because they are ignorant on the subject. On another note, I would highly recommend an Equalizer brand hitch if you do not already have one. I have tried others and they are far superior to the bar/chain style.
Thanks to all who helped.

The 3.73 rear-end comes as part of the Max Tow package which adds 400lbs to the payload capacity and an integrated trailer brake controller. Looking back to the OP, I realize this was not part of the question, my bad.
