Let me start off with this is my opinion based on towing the same trailer with my old truck and new truck. Same destination, same weather conditions (very windy) and same loading. But I'm sure someone will take offense anyway.I was one of the readers...
After several years of towing with a 1/2 ton I finally made the change to a 3/4 ton. I haven't had a chance to try it out yet, campers in the shop for a couple minor repairs. My last truck was a 2015 Max Tow GMC, pulled my 9000lb trailer great but I ...

Did not use one on my previous 2 campers. I keep them plugged up year round at home under the shed. Bought my new camper and decided to spend the money and get the progressive unit. Really didn't want to spend the money, I never needed it before. Abo...
Sorry I started such a storm by being happy I purchased a new truck. My truck is not better than yours, it's just happens to be the one I liked. It also just happens the truck is a Ram. I was hoping to share my new toy with others that share the same...
