Hello Gents,

How well will a 04.5(2500) 4x4,QC, auto,4:10 with short bed do towing a 13000lb.(toy hauler) pull trailer?

Regards, Dylan

 

I predict you will pass every Powerpuke and Duraturd you come upon!

(well, maybe not EVERY one, but, that problem can be solved easily)

 

The truck and driveline will handle it just fine. Watch out for your hitch weight as that would give you a weight of 10% or about 1300 lbs on your hitch. You will need to make sure you have a Class V hitch installed and probably want to use an equalizer hitch. I pull a high profile 5th wheel that weighs about 9000 lbs and have 3.73 gears, it works great.

 

I pull a toyhauler loaded at 11000 lbs with an 05 srw qc xzt tow mod quad intake and mbrp dont even know its back there, I did pull it bone stock w/no prob. just watch egt's on hills and onramps, but modded is night and day, def get sway control , mine is 32 ft and that made a big improvement.
p.s. 2wd , auto , 4.10's

 

Thx Gents,

I won't have that big of a load, I just wanted to know if the truck could handle the GVWR of the trailer. I like my truck more every day...

Dylan
