[QUOTE="*william*, post: 159562, member: 19085"] You won't be happy trying to pull a 26 footer with a Chevy 1500. Trust me. You won't be happy pulling a hill at 35mph or more importantly trying to stop. You'll need a bigger truck or smaller trailer. They will tell you "sure your truck will pull it fine." Heh, heh, heh. :p We've got a 18 foot Thor "lite" toybox. And a '99 5.7ltr Tahoe LT with the same rear end, and when fully loaded it's maxxed. It's rated at only 6500, and the trailer is 3600 lbs. After a KTM200, a YZ125, full fridge, ~100 gallons of water, 10 gallons of gas, all our gear, firewood, generator, etc, etc; it's more than you'd expect. Take the max tow rating as a high end, and then shoot for the middle. Figure the weight of the trailer alone, dry, at half what your can pull. Then guesstimate all the crap you'll load up, plus 8lbs per gal of water and gas. Leave yourself plenty (1500 lbs, maybe) of wiggle room UNDER the max rating. We thought we could have gotten the next size up (trailer) last time we went to the beach (few hills, plenty of power). Then we went to the mountians (one big hill, truck tapped out). It would have been an expensive mistake. [/QUOTE]
