King pin weight
Have some questions on trailer weight and pin weight. We have a 2007 GMC 2500HD short bed 4x4. Just weighed it today on a CAT scale. Was loaded ready to go with generators extra propane tanks and fuel...

As far as the tires go we moved up to LT285/70-17s. E-Rated Yokohama Geolander A/T. We had a leveling kit installed as well. We were thinking about adding a Banks power speedbrake to help with the downhill braking. Also considering moving to a 2018 3500, but the cost is a concern. Have read some not so hot reviews for all the 2018 makes, at least we know our TV and what has been done to it. We only have 60K miles on ours and know it is hardly broken in. Don’t want to get into a this truck vs that truck debate here.
Need to get an 'Exhaust Brake'
My truck/trailer combo weighs in at 22K Plus
Exhaust Brake and Tow/Haul ....will hold 55 mph on a 6% descent
Until then.....
Stab brakes firmly...scrub off 10 mph quickly then get OFF the brakes
Repeat as necessary. Quickly scrubbing off speed then getting off brakes doesn't over heat rotors ----no warping or heat checking
Exhaust Brake is a GREAT Tool for towing.
