So, you want a 2009 Dodge Ram with rear coils?

and want to pull a small trailer?

Saw this guy at Yellowstone last week. Of course I have no idea how much the trailer weighed, or how much tongue weight it had, but cripes, this is bad:

Looks like somebody doesn't know how to load a trailer.

It doesn't look TOO terrible, but it doesn't look very good either.

surely he didn't have that 15,000 + lb tree log that that Chevy hand was trying to put on the tandum axle trailer that I posted a couple of months ago.

Quite possible but looking at the fender wells on the trailer, the rake doesn't look that bad and the drop hitch isn't helping that cause either.

Maybe it just has a soft rear-end.

All I know is I had a little trailer, with a fridge in the bed of the truck, 2 washers, 2 driers in the trailer and a bunch of other random crap in the bed of the truck, and all it did was make my 2wd sit level if even. And I only have 20PSI in the rear tires.
