Little truck, big trailer. Not a good combo.
5100 lbs sounds awful light empty weight for a 30 ft. trailer. I'm guessing it's much more. Get loaded up, all your gear and family,and get to a scale.
Most 150 or 1500 pickups are closer to a big car than an actual truck.Very little payload.
You will be over the payload of the pickup when loaded.
Have fun in the mountains, and pray for no high winds.
That weird, my 2007 Chevy 1500 had nothing in coming with my wife's Pontiac Grand Prix. In fact it was built a lot like a 2500 of 3500 just smaller. My truck had a solid rear axle with leaf springs just like a 1 ton maybe not as big but same idea. Both trucks used independent front suspension. Even most of the body was the same between the trucks. Wait there was one thing. The key it was the same. So your right my half ton truck was just like a car.
The 1500 and 150 are not supposed to have big payloads it's not what they are built for. Just like how a 2500/250 or 3500/350 could never do the work of a true heavy duty truck.
