Then figure what else you will load into the truck including people. Add it all up and see how it compares to the truck's payload.

No doubt the truck will pull the trailer but is properly rated for the weight...especially in handling an emergency situation. Make a wise choice and enjoy the trip.

question here is not about tow ability's.
looking to buy a one ton down the rd. just a matter of money. so all that talk is mute.
