Confirm Towing Capacity Is OK?

t seems to tow OK, but I wanted to see if this seems like enough cushion between the max capacity of the truck versus what I have in the trailer. You all are the experts or at least you have more experience than I. Does this setup seem ok?

Looks like another good match when we look at your numbers (not exaggerated numbers) and your actual experience of how it tows. Remember the truck has a small engine so don't expect to keep up with a diesel or the newer high hp gassers.

As far as having a cushion you won't get a straight answer on that one as not everyone agrees on that point. I bought a truck to use so I use 100 percent of what I bought and paid for. And no my trucks don't wear out prematurely or break down more often.

Actual weights are preferred over estimating. Time to drop by your local CAT scales/feed store scales/recycle center scales/grain elevator scales and gets some front and rear axle weights. A single gross weight doesn't tell the whole story.
