As I said. Just get a beefier hitch for the Avalanche. Putting a support wheel for the tongue seems expensive and a headache in backing situations.
So you think an Avalanche can handle a 1500-1800 pound tongue weight without issue?????
I do. Like was pointed out earlier it is simply moving the trailer around the yard. I would do it in a heartbeat and not think anything of it. Tongue weight going 3 miles an hour is nothing like tongue weight going 70 miles an hour bouncing down the expansion joints. My dump trailer weighs 10 thousand pounds loaded. When I first got it I used it scrapping drywall jobs with a 2001 Chevy 1500. Now I fully intended to get a bigger truck which I did. But I still today wouldn't hesitate to use that same truck that my son has now to move my dump trailer around the yard. JMHO
