Fire 19 you are light compared to me. I have a 2006 Carriage. I weighed it with a full tank of water which is how I always travel . We were on our way out on a trip. The trailer weighs a little over 14,700lb. Of that the hitch weight is a little over 3,100lbs. So I have 11,600lbs on the tires. I have been pulling it since 2006 with a 2001 F250 diesel. I have it beefed up on the suspension so it is still sitting up just a hare at the back with the trailer on the truck. The truck does a great job pulling the trailer. Also in the bed I have a 25k airsafe hitch, behind the cab is a diamond plate toolbox with a generator and a 12 gallon fuel tank. It is called a Genbox. In front of the tailgate is a 37gallon fuel tank. So you are traveling light compared to me.
A friend of mine just bought a new truck, the one he traded in was just a few years old. He told me I should break down and get me a new truck. I told him their is no way I would get rid of my 2001 ford with the 7.3 diesel in it. It does to good of job pulling my 5th wheel. I bought it brand new. This year I just busted 100,000 miles on the truck. So it isn't even broke in good yet.
