When I hooked up my 25' ten ton hauler gooseneck to my 3500, about 25% went to the ball. With my 44' enclosed gooseneck (10' additional on the bridge) 33% went to the ball - both w/unloaded trailers.

(remember only a certain percentage of the weight is actually on the truck, believe the towing for a 2500 is around 8500 on the gn hitch, not sure about the lifted part because real working trucks dont get lifted)

So does this mean i can't tow my 5th camper 10000lb(old camper)
