Will someone please explain to me how a 1/2 ton truck with 8000 lbs on the ball is "no problem", "just fine","like it isn't even back there", etc.? I've done a bit of towing and if you are not sensing that there is 8K on a trailer in back of you, the rig is either coasting or parked. Is this just internet hyperbole?
Who ever said there was 8000 lbs on the ball? I said the gross weight of the trailer is 8000 lbs. If you have ever done "a bit of towing" you would know there is such thing as "tongue weight" and weight distribution hitches. My 8000 lb TT puts no more than 600 lbs on the ball when the weight distro system is adjusted properly. And, no, I can hardly tell it is back there.
