When everything you read says you shouldn't do it.... Look at the numbers realistically, don't try to find reasons you have a "special" situation. They are what they are and you need to adjust down on trailer expectations or up in truck size... Here's a Cedar Creek 33lk; beyond a 3/4;

Please note that the brochure pin weight is meaningless. Take 20% of the gvw of the trailer and subtract it from the payload of that 3/4 truck...what's that leave? |
Question .. why are we using the gvw of trailer?,, what if we don’t max out the gvw of the trailer?,, my trailer is 11500lbs dry and the max weight I put in it about 1000 lbs .. which brings down the payload,, no?
