I'm looking for some of you with really big TH's and what you are using to tow. We have a 40 ft. All American Sport 15K dry weight. We have a 1999 F350 dually diesel. We had a little transmission over heating problem a few weeks ago. We've been told the truck is big enough and told we need a bigger truck. Anybody beef up the tranny or add airbags to the rear suspension? Any experience and knowledge would be great!
I tow my 41' Weekend Warrior with a 2012 F350 Dually.
My GCWR is 30,000lbs. Fully loaded, I am at 27,000lbs going down the road.
You need more truck. GCWR on your truck is 20,000 lbs. Truck probably weighs around 8000lbs. So unless your trailer is 12000lbs going down the road, you are over your GCWR.
