And if you read the post above, Mr. Mitch from lovely Puyallup is still here with us today, after towing heavy and light since he was 16 years old. Before the internet said he shouldn’t and given he’s still with us, probably learned a thing er 2 along the way and used some good ole common sense and skill rather than google and rvnet.
That is the point I was trying to make.
My other point, is read virtually every response that is warning you against the purported atrocity of towing a 7klb TT with a modern 395hp truck with an 8 speed trans that shifts better than an old log truck driver and big 4 wheel disc antilock brakes. Then read why they explicitly think this is a bad idea.
Then realize not one of those responses cited any particular issue, feature or short coming that supports their fear or admonishment. Lol
This is one of those threads that I wish I’d taken a pic every time I hauled 3 - 20’ street plates on a 14k tag trailer behind my old 1500 Silverado.
Or a 10klb mini exc on a trailer that weighs bout 5k empty, over 3 mountain passes before breakfast time with a truck with less power and worse gearing than yours. Or , or , or…..
And not a wdh to be found. Working folk don’t use them on their trailers. And they don’t work so good with pintle hitches anyway!
To put it succinctly, there are those that “use” trucks and those that pay their bills by using trucks.
