[QUOTE="HGilliam, post: 390275, member: 20643"] Trust me you don't want to beleive the 25% b/s. The DOT is going to go by the gvw rating and anything over that is illegal. A trailer / truck combo that is overloaded or near maximum is a stressful pain in the butt to drive. You will need at least a 250 series truck and would be better with a 350 dually to pull any of the toyhaulers that are loaded. I tried the 1/2T suburban pulling a 28' Playmor Sport toybox and that was an accident looking for a place to happen. I sold the 'Burb after one trip and replaced it with a 3500 crewcab dually. This worked good. Then I wanted to upgrade to a 5th wheel since I had the truck to pull it. We got a 37' Playmor sport single slide toybox. Back to square one: Too much trailer , not enough truck! Last Dec I got a Freightliner FL60 4door hauler with a 8.3 Cummins/ 6spd Allison etc. Finally I've got a truck and trailer that are a good match and is easy to drive. Don't get a trailer that is over 80% of what the tow vehicle is rated for. You shorten the trucks life and yours too from the increased stress on both of you! Besides, get in an accident with an overloaded rig and your insurance co can tell you you're on your own since you are overweight. Getting down off my soapbox now! Just don't believe most RV and truck salesman. Their personal agenda is to sell you what they have in stock! toolman [/QUOTE]
