What truck do I need?
Rated SUV or pickup
A properly rated SUV or midsize pickup may work; verify its exact configuration.
- Maximum loaded RV weight (GVWR)
- 3,300 lb
- 3,300 lb (exact-unit certification label)
- Tow rating to plan for at full GVWR
- At least 3,300 lb
- Conventional / bumper pull
Allow for 330 lb–495 lb of tongue load at full GVWR. Planning estimate only (10–15%), not a measured weight. Add passengers, hitch hardware and truck cargo when checking payload.
Check your exact vehicle before towing
Truck classes are shopping recommendations, not manufacturer minimums or towing approval. Check the exact year, engine, axle ratio, cab, drivetrain and towing package. Loaded truck and trailer weights must stay within towing, payload, GVWR, GCWR, axle, tire and hitch limits. Use scale weights to confirm the combination.
Exact-unit labels take precedence over model references. Never use dry weight alone to choose a tow vehicle.
Manufacturer towing and payload guidanceDescription
Ready to get on the road again? This 2009 Dutchmen T@DA TXL-FD brings a little retro personality to your next adventure for just $8,995. Its rounded shape, red trim and inviting interior make it an appealing home base for Hill Country weekends, lake trips and those scenic stops you have been meaning to make. Inside, the front U-shaped dinette is a welcoming spot for morning coffee, a meal or a game of cards, then converts to a queen sleeping area for two. The compact galley keeps a two-burner cooktop, sink and refrigerator close at hand, while overhead cabinets and rear storage help keep your camping essentials organized. A private wet bath with a cassette toilet and handheld shower adds convenience, and the photographed Cool Cat unit and television round out the interior. At a manufacturer-listed 18 feet 5 inches long, this T@DA offers plenty of character in a compact travel trailer. The actual unit’s labels show a 2,350-pound factory unloaded weight and a 3,300-pound GVWR; we can help you check your vehicle’s towing and payload ratings for your loaded setup. Visit Legacy RV Sales in Fredericksburg, Texas, explore the photos and video, and picture your next affordable getaway. The road is calling—let’s find your next campsite.
