YEP, a 1500 can tow it but can it "HANDLE" it in unforeseen conditions.
How is it less safe to pull a (the OP) 9-10klb trailer with a 6000lb+ truck rated to tow 11k,
than pulling almost 30k with a 8000lb + truck rated to tow almost 30k?
Seems like you are both at roughly the same % of max capacity...
AFAIK, the only way to approach that weight is with a flatbed loaded with bricks, concrete etc... Such loads do not have the large sidewalls that TTs do, making them a more stable tow
There are none that I’m aware of. So what’s your point?
(I’m sure you picked up on my reference to 12Vs proudly stated combined weight, as he’s the one who asked the question I responded to...)
