How is that legal from a length standpoint. Isn't 65 feet a common maximum length of TV and trailer?

Honestly I have no idea J, I've seen a lot of double tows that would be pushing that limit, to the limit!
Once seen a early 80's Chevy 1/2 ton pulling a 30 something 5er, and a 20 something ftr Bayliner boat.
And honestly I don't know what the length laws are here in Canada???

Just did some checking and the max length here in Alberta is 20 Meters, which to you Americans in a hair over 65 ft.

I'd like to see the 3/4 ton can tow that, legally.

I'm guessing no SRW would qualify legally.
Unless you load the tongue way light you would crush any SRW GVWR and rear GAWR. I'm guessing no SRW has a GCWR of over 31+ lbs. Using the dry weight (which we no is light) and a 3/4 GVWR that puts you at 31k GCWR. For 1-ton SRW you are at 32.5k GCWR.
It says 21k dry. Wonder what the GVWR is?
To be legal, this is probably asking for F450 (or equivalent). Not sure why seller thinks a 3/4 is legit.
This also brings with it a different class of driver's license too for many states. For Illinois it would require a Class A non-CDL.

I'd have to get a discount just for the paint job.

If you go to my Album, you'll see my 48 footer, circa 1980. It was a "Cab-over", so only 39 feet was on the pin. The rest went up and over the truck, like an old style moving van, It was 56 foot overall, from headlights, to spare tire. You had to watch the front overhang pulling into a tight spot, as the nose "swept wide" It had opposing slides, which were RARE back then. When open,, the living room was 11 x 16, with entertainment center (Tube type 26" TV... LOL, and a wet bar, no ice maker.!

Yes with a dry weight of 21k this thing will have close to 4K on the pin and most likely over 4K when loaded. This is above even a 1 ton dually and definitely way above a 3/4 ton. RV dealerships do not look at pin weight, they simple look at towing guides to see what the max trailering capacity is.

Interesting, most 3500/350 duallies have a GVWR of 13,000 lbs. With a payload of over 6k that means your truck weighs less than 7k???? Is your GVWR higher than 13k? My duramax weighs in at just about 9k, my 2500 duramax was just over 7k

Well... if those are 7k axles that is 21k. If using 20% percent pin, that is 26,250 GVWR... which is 5,250 pin. Guess that works OK for a 1-ton DRW.
What is that, around 40,000 GCWR?
