I'm looking for some input on towing. I will be towing a 5x8 teardrop style camper that weighs around 1200 pounds loaded with all gear. I want to use a 18 inch hitch extension so I can haul my Can-am 570 in the bed with the tailgate down. The ATV weighs in at 704 pounds dry. My truck is a 2015 DCSB with 885s and 5100s in front and wheelers 2inch aal in rear. Will the tongue weight and weight of the quad be too much on the rear axel? I've researched the topic and can't find anyone that's towed with a hitch extension and carried an ATV in the bed. Thanks
