Pulled a 'lil trailer today...
20 feet long and about 5000lbs
It was surprisingly easy to get going!
On flat land, it was like starting with my BFG A/T's on. Up hill... A little more work... But nothing major.
Get about 10 MPG @ 55 MPH!
5-speeds with 3.42 gears are rated @ 3900lbs... My clutch didn't slip at all! Woohoo!

What did you have on the trailer? That trailer can't weigh that much.
When my brother, blazin97, bought his other blazer, he towed it back with his truck. 97 2 dr 2wd towing a 97 4wd 2dr with no engine. He got about 15 mpg with his.

No way I was gonna push my luck pulling something ON that trailer...
And yes, it can
According to the stickers on it, it can haul something like 15,000lbs.
They lent us a pintle hitch, lol.
The guy who was renting out they trailer went bug eyed when I pulled up, lol.
He's the one that said it was about 5000lbs.
My boss didn't want to pull the trailer in the city... And I needed to test my truck out
Guaranteed it wasn't any more than that, though...
The trailer jack was like 3" off the ground
Not much bouncing or anything going on... I don't think I bottomed anything out, but the road was pretty smooth... Definitely only a couple inches of travel left in the suspension, lol

I can see that weighing upwards of 5000 lbs. If you look at it the main frame of it is freaking I-Beams. They planned on hauling some serious equipment with that.

The trailer wheels/tires are bigger than my Blazers...
They were running6 or 8lug rims... Can't remember which... And235/85R16 tires.
