i would get a 5th wheel but you have a lift so i dont think it would work

 

I don't think you've got any problems, and I say go for it on the trailer and pintle hook. Speaking of which may I ask how much that (hitch & plate) is?

 

only thing you might want to do over long distance is get a trans temp guage. we hauled a lot more than that with my old (02 7.3 F250), even went over the limit ford said it could hall, never with a problem. but i dont think you even at the limit of the truck so you should be safe, the trans temp guage is just a safty incase something doesnt go as it should.

 

Not much, the plates are around $50 as well as the the pintle... give or take a few bucks.
Tractor Supply Company sells them.


I've already got one.

 

dont think you will have an issue pulling wise.

Weight wise, i have seen plenty of trucks pull heavy equip on trailors like that all day long.

my question is, have you thought of and add-a-leaf. I would consult with the dealer about what the rating is on the hitch itself.

If i had the money and planed on buying a new trailor. me personally, i would go with a gooseneck/5th. You wont have the push and pull , side/side . like you would with a trailor hitch. On top of the gooseneck/5th sits over the axle so you dont make the truck do a wheelie.

above statment is only my opinion. Im not a rocket scientist, so dont hold anything against me.

 

Ok thanks.

I think you would be ok with it.You not going be pulling job sites stuff with it like small tractors and things.

Some guys here puts there trucks to the test max's them out really bad i have done that to my trucks few times..if something breaks and truck is still cover Ford will fix it thats good thing on most parts...

 

This trailer is definitely overkill for my needs... but I am still looking forward to putting it to use.
Need to replace the motor on the Jeep and hopefully slap some bigger tires and bumpers on the 4-wheelers ASAP.
Ready to head back up for some 4-wheelin love.

I went ahead and pulled the trigger on the trailer today.
I'll post up pics ina few days.

 

how come you need a new motor in the TJ?

 

yeah you oughta be fine, especially with the banks kit.

Though, have you upgraded the brakes?

And, gorgeous fucking truck man,.

 

Setup looks fine and trucks more than capable. I would do the trans temp as well as that is usually the weak link in these. If its bouncy add an Air Lift kit to absorb it.
