18' dump trailer loaded with 3.5 ton of stone. felt it back there but hauled it fine!

deuceram · Nov 6, 2012

no trailer due to having a roll pan and no hitch=/ but ive hauled truck loads of ep henry landscaping block in the bed!

versa lok!! pulled some of that around in the dump trailer and may grab my buddys mini-ex as well, used to pull that around with the duramax like it was a toy. pretty sure its a 11,000 pound machine...

Gotta finish this retaining wall for my friend soon, getting cold up here! hard to do with regular work occupying 55+ hours a week right now.

They best part is that they only charged me 60 euros to rent it for the entire weekend. Truck pulled it with no problems whatsoever, and that was on a bad clutch too. Of course the pilot bearing exploded the following Monday on my way into work...LOL!

I pull my Kubota L5450 on a 20ft pipetop trailer. Does the job just fine.

Did my first tow with my 1500 Express this weekend. Towed a 1956 Plymouth Savoy parts car from Tucson AZ to Buena Park CA. Prior to the tow, I had set the truck up with the factory brake controller, a class IV hitch, and Air Lift 1000 bags. I was absolutely amazed with how well the truck pulled.

Im planing on buying a 7x15 V-Nose Cargo Trailer this week. I have a 1500 Regular Cab Outdoorsman 4x4.
Im moving from MD to TX next month and will be putting about 2000lbs in it.

How do you guys think it will pull? I also plan to pull 2 quads around once in a while, and 2 HD once in a while.

Do you think that is Too much Trailer for my Truck?
From what i can read i probly should get bags, but the trailer is draining the savings.

I haven't done much towing overall. I mostly use and abuse the bed. In 2007 I did tow a Uhaul trailer with about 6k in it (7.5k total?) from Nashville to Baltimore in my lifted 1997 Ram 1500 4x4. That was a long trip, especially because I was seriously sleep deprived before I even started.

That will pull just fine I have pulled 24 footer, multiple 22's and 29' camper with mine no problem. It will squat though so make sure you have a hitch that is straight or very little drop so when you are fully loaded chains don't have to be so tight.

Cormier3288 · Dec 11, 2012

Ok Thank you.

Do you think ill need anything like: the shocker hitch, or sway control hitch?

NJDodger · Dec 11, 2012

I've moved my XJ around a few times. The Ram tows it with no problem even in the mountains by our place in NY. Will cruise comfortably at 65mph to 70mph and accelerates and passes with no issues either.

If you don't already have a hitch, getting one which you can add sway control later if desired would be very wise, as to future-proof yourself for anything you may want to tow someday...

First day I had the '13, pulled a Tow behind Boom Lift (4800#) to a job site.

Took it easy and could barely tell it was there.
Only way i knew was the banging of the pintel hitch.

Had to pay cash for the trailer to stay in for work. Then got fired the same week. Ha

smiley · Feb 3, 2013

Weight distribution hitch is my next buy so I can level out big loads.
