So I've been reading the comments but i have been hesitant to even engage this group any more. There has been alot of good information in this thread, and I found the missing piece where my truck is lacking, mainly payload capacity.
I have had assumptions made on my intent, intelligence, capabilities, and ability to understand what was discussed here. I get notifications of every single post, and have been reading. I haven't had much to add yet, since I haven't been able to get out to the scales. I came here as I have a general understanding, but not a ton of experience with anything this heavy.
No, I am not going to negligently endanger my family or anyone else. Safety is why I am here asking for this help. We don't own the trailer yet, but my wife really wants it. I am just trying to sort out what I need to do to make this happen.
I am considering a purchase of a 3/4 ton available in my area. Do NOT assume that I am a fool that will ignore sound advice.
I don't want to spend a ton of money upgrading this 1500 because in the event of an accident the sticker will determine whether the law and insurance company will find me as overloaded.
