Tow Vehicle for 22,000 Pounds Plus
Is anyone towing 22,000 lbs. plus? If so, what are you towing with? Which rear end, what kind of mileage do you get? Do you have any tips? Have you pulled in the mountains, any problems? Thanks s...

Thanks NC!
The RV has a GVWR of 21k. It actually weighs 23k. The axles weigh 17,500#. The tires are GY "H" that rate at 4,806# per tire. I will be at MorRyde in May to add the 2" riser so that will transfer some weight to the truck. May possible upgrade the IS suspensions at that time.
I hope your numbers are backwards. Towing 2k over GVWR is not smart.
No they are not backwards. I could swap out the 21K TrailAire Kingpin to a 23K MorRyde Kingpin and all would be well. But I did replace all the 5/8" bolts holding the kingpin to the frame with 3/4" frame bolts. I am 750# over the 8K axle ratings and as said may upgrade something at MorRyde. Also my tires are more than strong enough.
