Message: [QUOTE="tbsimmons, post: 1395421, member: 2026"] Good for your buddy, I still would not pull 10,000 with a half ton. Flat is one thing 7+% grades is a totally different animal more so in the high desert with the wind. Others input, like yours, well it works fine for me. That is not a good reason to me more so coming from people that either don't tow much weight or others that tow too much with a SRW. I did it so telling me I can, I know I can but the stability is not there period. Really not every trailer is 20K, I didn't know that. If you look back at my reasoning most of the time it is that once you tow with a dually you wont want to tow with anything else. 32' fiver on a half ton, must be a superlight, has to be for it to be 10,000 or under and no pin weight. I have seen it done, the hills will kill that truck in time. that weight in my mind needs a 3/4 ton. But the big three is in this half ton towable war and to me it is way unsafe. Too much weight behind the truck with not enough weigh in the front. Pin weight on trailers is what kills things. Turn a corner going faster than 10 MPH with 4000# in your bed and tell me what the SRW truck does. When someone comes on a forum saying they are going to buy a 53' trailer and someone recommends a SRW, they are flat ass wrong. No matter what is done to the suspension you can not get 4 sidewalls with the same rating as 8. Laughing at me for a 30', you do know a 30' toyhauler can be 15500# plus right with a pin weight in the 3500 range. That is pushing the limits on the gross of a SRW truck. People do it all the time and say it is fine. But again my reasoning is because you have not towed with a dually. Like everyone that does wonders why they didn't do it earlier. I am not paranoid, I like giving good information to someone that asks to make an educated decision. Yours has been well I tow with a SRW so its good. Well the only place I have found a SRW will work better, sand. Everything else I have put my toyhauler in my duallys do fine. [/QUOTE]
