Why is the towing capacity of the hybrid 1000 lbs. vs the non-hybrid at 1500? The hybrid has more horsepower and torque yet it is rated for a lighter load. Is the drive train the issue?
While that may be true for your specific camper it is up to the manufacture to set that standard. For example, My Forest River camper included a full propane load and two deep cycle batteries in the weight in the yellow sticker. Bottom line is that the only way to know is to configure the unit for an outing and drag it across a CAT scale. If you are not running ST tires you need the scale number for proper inflation anyway.I see also that the OP had asked in another thread about a 1,000 lb dry weight camper. Understand that "dry weight" can be quite a bit less than the actual unloaded weight. It may have gotten better recently, but in the past camper manufacturers used to list as "dry weight" a camper stripped of empty propane tanks, awnings, batteries, A/C, etc. For example, the published dry weight of my 2000 Coleman camper is 995 lbs. The actual weight is more like 1,300, without any of my gear and no liquids, battery, propane, etc.
