    Dry is about 5300 and about 575 tongue. I run a Reese dual cam WD and a prodigy p3 brake controller. It tows like a dream. 65 with ease on highway

    Nice rig. We bought out first TT a couple of weeks ago. The wife is a travel nurse. It's a White Hawk 23 MBH, 5100 dry, 5400 loaded with no water in the tanks. I just towed it from the coast of NC to Houston Texas, over a 4 day period. No problems at all. Kept my speed around 60 mph mainly to save fuel.

    That thing has got to be well over 5000 lbs. I'm stressing my Taco pulling a 18' Hybrid trailer that's about 3500 lbs dry. Couldn't even think about pulling something that big.

    Got a really good deal and couldn't pass up. 4500 dry. Tongue weight is low b/c the slide is behind the axles; 400 lbs. Truck barely squats with just a WD hitch and no airbags. I don't plan on towing anywhere but flat ground right now. If we decide to do any long mountain trips I'll get a Tundra. I did a lot of research beforehand, and it seems a little heavier trailer can ADD stability and prevent sway. We'll see. If it's bad I will either get a Tundra or sell it for something shorter.

    Yep! I will try and post later. Actually the dry weight is just under 4500 lbs. It's the lightest one we could find for the size.

    If I'm not mistaken, you are not supposed to use air bags if using a WDH. Thought I read that in the towing bible on here, or what ever the thread is called. Mine is 27 box, almost 30 tip to tip. On the Highway when a semi passes, I feel the air but never anything dangerous or I feel uncomfortable with. My trailer also had a wide stance axle and that helps stability. The dual cam WDH makes a huge difference also. It is always working to keep everything in line. I tow into the river valley of Ohio from Cleveland, yeah the truck had to work but it does very well. And I get the same millage as a two of my buddies with full size diesels when towing. Between 10 & 12 mpg. Highway travel speed between 60 & 70. Just my experience.
