Had this thing for a year now. 2002 2500 4x4 with a 6.0. Dual duty tow rig / welding rig. Need to buy my generator soon. Tows my 9000# fifth wheel suprisingly well.
Well, judging by the number of lug nuts on each axle, if it is in fact 9k. He doesn't seem to be too worried about weight ratings, or safety. Not to mention the excessive amount of tongue weight.
I weighed the truck and trailer empty and the 9k is combined loaded amount on whats on the trailer both truck cabs are loaded with tools and other gear i know safety went out the door but i was moving everything i had so sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. I would never do it again thou it was pretty sketchy.
