Re: Towing Help??
I have almost the same set up, and I have had 2 Oh sh-- stops. I was wishing for a bigger truck then too. Mine isnt loaded as heavy as some I have seen, but its up there due to the trailers weight alone. Having brakes on 3 axles would be great, as I have 2, but I think the bigger issue, at least now days, is the legality of it. IF, you did , and I mean it could happen, have an accident, you may be held liable, with the truck being too small for your overal GVW. All it would take is one wiseass to change lanes at the wrong time to cause a huge mess, and you could be answering to a summons.
Your truck, like mine, has a 9200 GVW rating, and the truck is almost 7K by itself. Almost every Dualie has at least a 10K rating, but the extra brakes and extra pair of tires on the ground more than make up for the 800 lb difference.
