My headlights looked like they were aimed into the heavens. I towed it a few times, and lost the transmission at 35,000 miles. Once the transmission was fixed, I immediately traded the truck in for a 2500 version and got many happy miles with it.
Since then, I always try to buy less trailer than my TV is capable of handling. With the internet and forums, it seems hard to understand why folks don't do their research before making a purchase.
