Best Design Trailer for Half-Ton
I have a Starcraft Autum Ridge, one slide trailer. It is a good trailer and may have to stay with it. I do not want to upgrade truck to 3/4 ton because of expense. Would like to find a 28 to 30 ft t...

I thought my 20ft is pushing the payload on my 1/2 ton, can't imagine hanging a 28-30 ft on the bumper.
Good luck on your search, maybe one of those high tech aluminum frame models?
1st....on the bumper ??????
Anyone towing with a bumper mounted ball should be hog tied and beat with a wet noodle. I wouldn't pull a utility trailer on my bumber.
2nd....20ft is pushing the payload.
That must be one stout 20' trailer. My 19' has a dry weight of 2,600 with 900 payload for a total of 3,500. No where, not even close, to the 1668lb payload of my 1/2 ton RAM 1500.
3rd.... the length of a trailer has nothing to do with the payload placed on a truck. Sure, one can assume that a longer trailer will also be heavier, but last time I checked... adding LxWxH had nothing to do with weight.
