I have a wfco lithium replacement converter, and it works great. 14.6 volts for 4 hours, and then shifts down to 13.6 volts. If you have big batteries, (mine is 280 ah) and the battery was depleted...

Some converters have an equalize mode where once in a while the voltage shoots up over 15 volts, which is bad for lithium. Best results are a converter that charges at 14.6 volts and floats at 13.6.

In response to the OP, there are some 150’s that absolutely pull a 22’ fiver and be well within the limits on everything. Just has to be ordered, you likely wouldn’t find it on a lot.

To follow on to that line of logic; How is it that large over the road semis or (gasp!) semis pulling double trailers manage? 12,000 lbs hauling 80,000+ pounds?

3/4 and one ton are great and all, but for 8K trailer, you would be fine with a heavy duty 150 (HDPP) GCWR over 17K, 2500 payload. And when you are not towing, enjoy the more supple ride. Some people...

It’s a brave new world out there. More hp and torque than previous generation diesel 1 tons, and bigger brakes too. And greater payloads than 3/4 ton diesels.

The HDPP 3.5 could do it. First limit that would get hit would be receiver hitch limit of 1320.
