Trying to figure out the best tow vehicle for reflection 150 series 29obh. Has anyone towed it with a 1500 truck?

No I have not but in my research for the 295rl I found that payload and not towing will be the problem for the 1/2 ton truck. We decided to go with a 3/4 ton silverado. So for example the hitch weight of our new 295rl is 1300 lbs. If we had the 1500, that paylod on those are somewhere around 1700 lbs. Once we put the hitch and the RV on the back axil, we would only have a few hundred lbs of capacity for people and stuff. I think some people can add airlift systems to help with the suspension, but from what I read, that does not improve the payload capacity of the chassis and suspension. Just my two cents.
