TXFireMedic..........Looks like a really super nice rig!! Bet you are going to love it!
1tonMega.........did you buy your trailer from McClain's in McKinney (formerly Longhorn)? That looks like their place as best I can tell from the pics. I try to give them my business when I need a dealer related item or service.

Would like to know how well this pulls with real world experience. I have the same truck and I am looking for a toyhauler with about the same weights as yours. There are two school of thoughts on this, one is no way you are too heavy and the other is as long as you don't overload your tire ratings. Would be interested in weight scale numbers if you ever scale it.

I follow the "don't overload your tires and axles" school of thought, and then use lots of common sense. I don't need a sticker to tell me I'm overweight. I can tell by the weigh things feel.

Very nice trailer, I love the double rear bunks with its own bath, you and momma will appreciate it on a rainy weekend of camping. My 5ver is 15k and I have hauled it the entire east coast with a srw without any problems. A bunch of the guys on the job with me have campers, several of us go camping all the time, plus we usually have a couple large campouts with everyone twice a year, lots of fun.
Bets of luck with the new trailer, when we gonna hook up? lol, actually we are plannig a month long trip to the great state of Texas next year. Keep you posted.
Enjoy it safely, Tim
