    Howdy,

    Just recently bought a 2017SR double cab shortbed as stock as can be.

    I have a 5x10 single-axle utility trailer (this one http://www.texastrailersfl.com/ut51035-texas-trailers-5x10-utility-trailer-vEJ|N6d.html] and am having a Curt hitch mounted next week (this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0193HXA7K/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1).

    Unlikely to be making long hauls further than say 300 miles, and usually less than 100. I took the drop gate off and mounted wood stake sides and gate. Mostly going to be hauling feed, hay, a hog or two to the processor, lumber, furniture, trash, that sort of thing.

    Anyone see any problems that I don't? I've already read about using S4-5 rather than D with the transmission.

    Thanks much.

    It’s all about weight. As long as you are not exceeding manufacturers weight ratings you are probably ok. You need to determine the weight of the trailer, weight of max load you will be hauling, max weight of passengers and of weight in the bed. Then check the manufacturers weight specifications.
