Re: Is this too much trailer for my truck?

The Titan will pull that weight just fine. IMO 30ft is too long for a short wheel base 1/2 ton truck. The truck alone just doesn't have the weight to help keep the TT stable in a emergency situation. yeah I know a lot of people have no issues and HVT has logged several thousand miles and wish him the best forever and ever. I am sure that HVT long bed truck is doing a fine job.
I also subscribe to the 85% rule, keeping the weight 85% of the max GVWR. This is mostly for saftey first and not wearing ou the truck second.

This guys has some good solid info to read.
