I thought the same thing when towing my boat, kind of suprised me. The boat is 3500lbs dry + 500-700lbs or so of gas/gear + tandam aluminum trailer (cant seem to find its dry weight)=only 5k or so, maybe a little more. I think its more because of the trailer's surge brakes, alowing the trailer to move forward and back slightly.

I haven't pulled it yet as I just bought the Screw, but I will be pulling my boat this summer. The "Dan"Forth - named after my son, Danny.

Pin is 1050 loaded.

Number in the cab is irrelevant, the weight of what's in the cab or bed is what matters. 1 400 pound person is as bad as 2 200 #'ers, or 1 200#'er and 2 100# dogs, or ....

I do. Quite easily as well. And even with a 5'6" box. I installed a Pullrite 12K automatic sliding hitch to ensure the trailer does not hit the cab when turning sharply.

Don't think u would have an issue, but if u rent a u haul trailer they are pretty heavy from what some have said. Still think you will be fine. May need a brake controller if u don't have one integrated and the trailer has electric brakes. If it has surge brakes as the u hauls do u will not need it. Or are u using a tow bar or dolly?
