    You're lucky that "idiot" loaded it like that because if he loaded it with boom back then your truck is too light to handle it that way and you could get MAJOR sway on the highway and that trailer would have ripped your truck off course easily. Happened to me before.

    How much of a difference do my Allpro expos and rear suspension make when towing? Will I be able to pull a larger/heavier trailer with my upgrades or will it add too much strain to the engine still?? Just curious as I am looking into getting a camper and want to know if that adds to my towing capacities.. Thanks guys!

    Nothing will add to the towing capacity. The truck has a safe working/towng limit and thats al it will be. Adding suspnsion will help the truck handle the loads alot better within that limit. Hope that makes sense.

    Nothing special, but I helped a friend move a couple weekends ago so this was my trucks first tow. The trailer was 2,300 by itself, and we added about another 1,500 pounds of stuff. She towed it no problem. :D

    loaded some dirt on the trailer last night (took the pic today, because we did it in the dark) and again today. probably 1ton or so of dirt plus trailer weight. taco did really great, but would not want to tow more without trailer brakes, only towed about 6 miles so was not really worried about it.
