Reference post: Love my combo for towing

I have an interesting comparison. I have a 2008 28' Artic Fox Toyhauler that is used for work. The bedroom was ordered gutted and the entire trailer was custom done with aluminum storage racks and tool chests. It is heavy, sitting right at max GVW of 12K. It is tall, bumper pull and a handful in the Idaho wind, even with a hitch equalizer. I have pulled it since new with a 2008 Chevy 2500 HD Dmax. The 08 was just replaced with a 19 3500HD Dmax, both were short box trucks. I cant get over the huge improvement in the towing capability from 08 2500 to 19 3500. The same trailer with the 08 was never overly comfortable Interstate speed and in the wind it was scary and I am CDL driver and have been towing my entire driving life. The 19 of course has more power, but the stability of the chassis, the brakes and of course exhaust brake make it nearly effortless. We all talk about how much more these new trucks cost, but if your pulling heavy enough, the improvements are incredible and in my view well worth it.
