Too Much Trailer for the TV???

Probably neither. I think he just wants to know how a bigger truck is harder on a trailer. I must admit, I'm curious too. Would I put less stress on my rather small TT if I ditched the 3/4 ton and bought a half ton? Or conversely, would I damage it if I went to an F450? Inquiring minds want to know...

In my opinion, the bigger truck would be harder on the trailer because it has stiffer springs and rides "harder" than the lesser truck. This would transmit the road bumps and jolts to the trailer A frame instead of being absorbed by the trucks springs and shocks. Too much of that and I can easily see the frame or other parts of the trailer developing stress cracks and eventually failing.
