I am looking for a toy hauler to put a golf cart in. I’ve seen a few but they will be about 10,000 pounds after everything is loaded. Current tow capacity on the truck is 9300lbs. With GVWR @ 7,000lbs. I found a shop that will add an extra leaf to the rear end (.47in steel leaf, was told that would add roughly 600lbs each side) and install HD sway bars. Do you think this will be enough to increase my GVWR?
You will never get a 1/2 ton that will be able to handle 10,000 lbs safely or comfortably.
I tow a TT that weighs between 9200-9500 lbs with a 3500 SRW. I towed it previously with a 2500. No way in He!! would I ever want to hitch it up to a 1/2 ton and tow for any reasonable distance.
The 1st time you round a blind corner at 55-60 mph and you need to panic stop, or you're out in the open with 15-25 mph crosswinds you'll be purchasing new underwear if you're lucky.
