Thanks all for your ideas. Looks like I need to do some more homework as I certainly don't want to get too much trailer for truck. Agree stopping is more of an issue that pulling. Thanks again. I knew this was better than asking any salesperson (truck or trailer).
I always wonder about the stopping issue. I have never seen test data to support the theory. Personally I rely on my trailer brakes to get things stopped. Yes I know the trailer brakes can fail, I can also be struck by lightning. I think some good advice has been given on the OP's truck aside from the 1500 dissing that automatically goes on.
