Thanks for all the feed back. Picked up the trailer Saturday and couldn't believe how low my truck sat! Ran it across the cat scale, trailer weighed in at 6940# with 780# at the tounge. Engine and trans did great on flat ground, All the trouble was in the suspension. Stopped and looked at a 2500 on the way to get the trailer just in case...should be picking that up by the end of the week, haha.
Was that 6940# empty? If so you'll be up to 8000# loaded with close to 1000# on the tongue. I'd be shopping for that 2500 too if that was the case!
