Default Re: Tow Vehicle

a 1 ton singe wheel truck will pull your trailer if it has heavy enough suspension. The limiting factor will be the amount of load the tires will handle. I have a 40 ft gooseneck trailer and when I had my rig weighed I had 8K on the rear axle. To be able to haul my trailer with a single rear tire truck the tires would have to be rated for about 5000 lbs each. to have a little safety factor. I am not aware of any tire for a pick up that has that high of a rating.
