Uh... well... that's pretty much insane. I'd like to think the 12,500 is your GCWR, but I'd venure a guess that trailer is well over 7k at that length. I guess you like pushing the envelope.

Yeah just the trailer- it's a 34'.. Usually we use my dad's 1 ton dodge w/ the cummins to pull it but he was pullin his 30' cabin cruiser boat that weighs more then the trailer to the lake that weekend so I had to bring the trailer. FYI the truck is not stock at all. Overload springs, very built tranny, lightning engine w/ supercharger. The biggest problem was just the trailer way outweighing the truck so I took it very easy especially goin down the steep grades. But I could pull it up an 8% grade at 55 no problem. But absolutely not an every weekend tow. It IS too much trailer for my truck. Most of the time I am pullin our work trailers that weigh between 5-6000 pounds. It did get a lot of attention that weekend though at the gas stations.. lol and about 7 MPG
Don't want to burst your bubble but I doubt that trailer weights more then 8,000 to 9,000 lbs. Ship weight was 6610 according to keystone. Looking at the axles they are 5,200 lb axles at best, probably 3,500 lb or 4,000 lb axles. The tires are also lightweight tires they ship with so you'd be having blow out after blow out if the trailer weighted in at 12K lbs.
Don't want to burst your bubble but there i a metal ID tag right on the trailer that gives exact weight of the trailer. It's amazing how much you can tell about my trailer from a fuzzy picture I took with my camera phone.. Do you know how many keystone cougar trailers there are out there? You probably have specs from the wrong one.
well i took off all my stats- it's not worth BS'ing about. I know I joined this forum to enjoy talking trucks and seein what everyone is doin to their's. I think it's stupid to just bash someone else and their ride. Why even join the forum if that's what you're gonna do?

Finally got the pictures of my truck hauling the heaviest load it is ever likely to be asked to haul. It handled pretty well considering I was worried the lowering shackles might make it sit on the bump stops. I love my truck.
