[QUOTE="Wild and Free, post: 26879, member: 406"] 40 footer and half ton is a bad combo period. 40 footer would be a heck of a load even for a 3/4 ton to be honest. I can say I do not want to meet and pass that on the road. I have seen waaaay too many 1/2 tons with campers alone and with and boat trailer combos rolled or crashed along highway 83 between Washburn and Bismarck over the years. Once they get to wig wagging its all over if you do not have the brakes and vehicle weight to control it. I have had close calls with 16 foot bumper pull stock trailers almost take me in the ditch but lucky enough I was at just the right speed and had reflexes fast enough to hit the brake controller button to pull me straight at the last second. You really need to know the loaded and dry weight of the trailer and see what your vehicle GCVW is rated at along with hitch weight at the pin is and rear axle capacity of the pickup. If you are just moving it slowly that's one thing but being on the open road is completely different. Then you will need E rated tires at minimum aired up fairly high as well to handle the weight.
