Hello,
Anyone towing a 7000LB+ trailer with a 42"+ extension With out weight disruption. How does it handle? My 28" worked great. Just wondering if 14" makes a big difference. Keep it clean people.
Thanks, Andy
Hi Andy, Joe the lurker here. I don't think this answers your question so consider it some useful input. My 96 Chevy dually, 2007 1181 and a 4000 pound pontoon boat is carried on a 48 inch Reese extension coming out of a tow beast hitch. It tows pretty well here in Florida but I would never do it at home in the mountains of New York. But the 400 pound tongue weight on a 48 inch extension runs just fine. I'm curious, can you move the axle forward a bit? I didn't know you could do this until I moved to Florida but it seems many do it here. Again, just FYI.
Thanks, Joe
