Air bags and horse power don't change weight capacity ratings and long wheel base benefits.

EcoBeast...you know that's not a real thing, right? Cute decal though.

Not wanting to start any kind of flaming war, but I always thought that 4X4s had a lower towing capacity ...

Before moving over to a motorhome, we had a 26' Autumn Ridge and loved it. But our Expedition was at its max towing it, weight-wise. Yes, I know that the wheelbase on a truck is longer than the Expy, but I sure hope this guy doesn't get himself into a strong cross-wind, regardless of the type of hitch he's using.

Beautiful looking trailer and I love the big window on the side. Like others have said, at close to 38 feet and close to 10,000 pounds, I don't think I would tow with a 1/2 ton. Hope everything works out for them.

Looks like the tail may be wagging the dog.

I doubt it since it looks like he is using a PP hitch or a black painted Hensley.

Looks like someone doesnt need glasses

If its a Autumn Ridge 315RKS (looks like it to me), its 7600 pounds dry. It "MIGHT" be within limits of the truck.....

Thats alot of trailer, does that style of hitch allow to tow way over like that. I know they stop all sway but that looks like a whole bunch of weight? Not trying to start anything just wondering.

That style of hitch will stop the trailer from wagging the tail of the tow vehicle but will not necessarily let you tow over your limits. That is never recommended nor is it safe in most cases.
Barney

That TT may well be over the limits of those hitches.

Very nice, I like the large window on the curb side.
