Our truck is a 05 2500 cummins single tire. I have a friend with a 44ft carbon that tows his with a 2500 duramax so I assumed we would be ok truck wise.
No can do. Your friend is overweight.
My last trailer was a 30' bumper pull (WW FS2600) and I towed it with a 2004.5 2500 RAM cummins. There's no way I could have pulled (and stopped) a heavier trailer.
I tow a 44.5' toy hauler now. I had to upgrade to a 3500 dually. The newer trucks have amazing Tow/Haul modes and exhaust brakes. These newer trucks are like night and day compared to the older ones.
I got a great deal buying used from texasdirectauto.com. I saved a bundle by flying to TX and driving the truck home.
