I've often wondered if a larger TT would have more "tail wagging the dog" than the size fifth wheel. I towed a large enclosed triple axle loaded with raw brick for brick relief sculpture from west...

I have a TT so I don't really have a dog in the fight. I just wonder if there's any real mechanical differences between the 2500 and the 3500 other than the rear springs that causes the mfg to rate...

What kind of trouble were you having that made you go to a dually? I can see going to a dually if the weight is beyond a certain point, but I don't understand trading a 2500 SRW for a 3500 SRW when...

Here's the thing. When you see campgrounds with "overloaded" trucks you have to ask yourself, "if there are so many of these trucks that not only got here but seemed to tow these 'too heavy' rigs...

It appears that if I'm careful, I can stay within +(-)100 pounds of the payload capacity sticker with this rig. All I've done so far is look at it and liked what I saw. But I don't like it enough...

I know air bags don't increase GVWR but they make hauling a load easier by leveling it out. Probably the most weight I've had in the bed was a yard of sand at about 2,700- 2,800 lbs, with a backhoe...

Thanks Larry. Unless I add a second A/C unit, I don't think I'd be adding much over a couple of hundred pounds to the pin when loading which would keep me within the door sticker specs. This is...

I have a 2007 duramax. I'm good on the rear axles @6,000+. The loaded weight of the truck (me, wife, tool box. misc junk, and 200 lb allowance for the hitch) give me just shy of 2,000 lbs of...

That's a concern JR and I was hoping to have a little spread between what the truck can reasonable handle and the current pin weight. I could trade my 2500 for a 3500 without too much, if any,...

Im now considering a 303rls. My wife ain't going to go for the 29rls anyway. The 303 is a purported about 500 lbs lighter and a couple of ft shorter than the 333.
Again, my concern is the hitch...

I appreciate it Javi. I think I'll scale it back a bit, maybe to the 29RLI. It would be really really nice if the manufactures gave more realistic weights to begin rather than get a person hyped up...

We looked at the 333mks yesterday. Price was just south of $40k. The total weight of 10,000+ pounds is not much concern but the pin weight may be. The sales folk was tell me the pin weight is 1865...
