looking to tow a 26 foot trailer that has a dry weight of 4090 and a hitch weight of 450 lbs.. just the 2 of us and I would say maybe about 600lbs of gear (we travel light). should my truck be able to handle this OK???
thanks for any info and if there is any other info needed let me know.
Should have no issues. I towed a 31' 8,000 lb Keystone with a 2009 1500 with 3.90 gears and it did great. Good WDH and sway control is very important. I had a Reese WDH and double Curt friction type sway controls. Worked very well. And if you have the Tow/Haul feature-use it. The one area where I was lacking was with my truck tires. I had Toyo AT's on, but they were not E rated tires. I had a lot of sidewall flex. I am fairly certain they were not over loaded at all, but mushy. I also had air lift bags in my rear coils. Loved them.
