By the way... what 36' long trailer is light enough or has low enough tongue weight to even meet the specs of a half ton truck???
As a half-ton truck owner I don't believe there is one - after you take in to account all your other passengers/cargo.
2014 Surveyor SC321BHTS
Loaded weight 8,324 (per scales)
Loaded Tongue Weight per scales 994 (per scales)
Truck payload - 1,798
Driver/All passengers approx. 400 lbs. Nothing in the bed of the truck.
GVWR 7,230
GVCR 16,900
Total weight - 15,954
That's more trailer than I would want to pull. No disrespect intended. I pulled my 5,500 pound-29 foot as I mentioned previsouly-8,000 miles in 8 months around the U.S. I wouldn't wanted to pull your trailer on a trip like that, even with your truck-which is a 2500. My payload is 1444 - that would be too much trailer for my truck.
