So you should not have any either as long as you take it easy and not try to keep up with all the idiots out there!

I pull 18' tandems with Bobcat 175s and 331s with mine about two three times a week, not sure what the weight is I guess, but I also pull a 10' dump trailer on occasion loaded with 3 tons of rock, that's when I really appreciate the 5.8, that's also when both tanks will get me about 100 miles down the road if I'm lucky.

One question though, my bumper says it's class III with a 5500 lb. limit... is that alright? Or should I get the receiver hitch put on?
What about trailer brake system?

Electric brake controller is a must.Also,you need a frame mounted hitch.After you fill up your fresh water tank,add supplies etc,you will definately be heavy.Your TT is equiped with electric brakes,you just need to add a controller,plus any additional wiring for the brakes.If you don't do this,I garantee that TT will push you thru a red light,stop sign etc.

I pull a Keystone Outback 27 RSDS approx 6000lbs, 570lb hitch TT (2 slides) 1 Dinette Slide and 1 rear Queen Bed Slide. White Cupboards and wood look floors, very bright inside. Approx 30' tongue to bumper w/5 ft extra rear slide out when camping. 27 ft on the inside I think. Our F150 4X4 5.4L 3.73 handles it fine but we have some mods on the truck. Go to www.outbackers.com
