Will I be Ok?

So, As most of you know, I have a 6" and 35's on my Truck. I still have the 3.55's in it, its sluggish, but not too bad with my edge. I am hoping to go t othe dunes this weekend to ride my quad up there. If I go I will be pulling a 6x12' Trailer. I'm not too worried about gas mileage, its more the truck it self. Will it be ok? Its 200 miles one way, pulling the trailer with 3 quads in it.

I know the truck can do it, I have made the trip a few times when the truck was stock, its just the new tires I am worried about

Heres the Trailer...

Whoa killer! A trailer and THREE quads! I think you might drop your tranny.

Seriously, that's like pulling your 110lb buddy on Rollerblades behind your bicycle. You'll be fine.

It'll do it, just won't like it much. If you don't already have one, add a tranny cooler before you go.

If your truck can't pull that trailer, you've got some serious problems...

I wouldn't wanna risk pulling a 6X12 trailer with a half ton pickup.

But if you're set on trying to make this trip then I'd look into installing some brakes on that trailer and a weight-distribution hitch if I were you.

Oh hell no. I'd want a dually with that load. No way I'd tow it with my truck...

Which reminds me, anybody remember when I picked up that 18' long oak tree last year? I'll be doing the same thing again soon, probably sometime this week...

Try pulling this with a 6' lift, 35s and 3:55 gears up a 6% grade for 12 miles with 2 quads and one dirtbike.
