Towing Harley and trailer

[mikeandbrenda]

I have a 2012 Silverado Duramax Diesel Crew Cab 4WD 2500 HD Pulling a 6700LB Dry weight Travel Trailer loaded to around maybe 8000LB Loaded. I have a 14000LB Equillizer distribution hitch, the biggest they make, which was installed when I bought the trailer new, which they recommended. The truck has a towing weight of around 15000LB. It is all set up correctly now. Now I want to haul a Harley full touring motorcycle with auto ramp, motorcycle weighing 950LB and ramp weighing 300LB for a total of 1250 in bed of truck. The harley wouldn't be in back every time we camp, maybe once a year. Could I use airbags witch hitch to compensate for the occasional hauling of the harley?

How long is the HD? Tailgate might be a issue bike or trailer.
As for weight, take your snot to scale, get your actual weights. Subtract actual from rear axle rating. 1300 lbs to spare?

You do remember that air bags don’t increase capacity, they level the truck.

Or post in a more suitable forum.

1200 + 1250 + 100 = 2,550. Plus your weight, passenger weight and other junk you toss in that truck (450+-). 3,000 pounds of stuff. You have a few hundred pounds to play with.

Might help if you listed loaded trailer tongue weight and loaded truck weight and payload capacity for your truck. Then you can get some informed answers.
