[QUOTE="ndlongshot, post: 224878, member: 244"] I pulled triples with my chevy shortbox 5.3.....24ft fifth wheel and 18ft lund. Under the gross weight. Its do able. Like with anything you can always make it better but where does it end? I had good trailer brakes, and good ten ply tires on everything. Keep it under 70. Airbags would have been nice but everything was set up pretty good the truck didnt squat much. Might have to get them with certain setups. Also, I use Reese slider hitch...not once have I had to use the slide function. Pay attention when parking and it will never be an issue. Unless you plan on jack knifing your trailer into parking spots then you will need a slider or sidewinder hitch but you should be fine....if you arent a dipstick. I now have a tundra 1/2 to pull same combo (6.5ft box). We are always within 100 miles of Bis. If I was putting on alot of miles I would upgrade to 3/4. Its what you are comfortable with. If you are a nervous wreck about it just go get a bigger pickup and be done with it. But that was more $$$$ then I wanted to spend. And a diesel during hunting season didnt excite me. I need one truck to do it all. [/QUOTE]
