JR,

I did a quick check on the specs of that trailer. It looks like the trailer is 37 feet long and has a gross vehicle weight of 10,000 pounds. If those numbers are right, I don’t know how anyone could consider that trailer half ton towable. You would need a 3/4 ton truck at the least to tow a trailer that big, in my opinion.

I’m sure others will chime in but one thing to remember when you are matching a truck and a trailer is to always use the loaded weights, not the dry or empty weights.

If you are able to post the actual numbers for the truck and trailer, payload capacity, gross combined weight rating (GCWR), and the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) for both the truck and trailer, you would receive more helpful and accurate responses to your question.
