[QUOTE=Country Campers;231536]Like you said , you already know the answer , and the dealer should have never allowed you to do this.
I know this answer every time I pull our 305RE with the srw Dodge Cummins. The trailer gross is around 17,000 lbs., give or take. The pucker factor kicks in on each tow. I have added what I can, ie disc brakes and IS. Both of which cut down on the pucker factor, but it's still there. Given that we use the tow vehicle as the sight seeing vehicle, a dually wasn't an option as many of the places we go are a tight fit with the single rear wheel.
And before anybody starts, I know, I know, it's a bad idea for a multitude of reasons.Gordo Fuchs

I know it's a bad idea but I don't use crosswalks during rush hour traffic.

[QUOTE=gordofuchs;231780]I'm not trying to be mean or disrespectful, but you admit that it's a bad idea, but it is also something that you have total control and the final say about continuing to do it. I wish you would at least rethink/reconsider trying to correct what you realize is a bad idea/situation.

Manufacturer stated dry weights, and every weight for that matter are such a crock of bs.
My 380th has a "dry weight" shipped of 15,300lb. With a gross of 19,500. And a listed cargo capacity of 4200lb. If I carry literally anything other than an empty trailer with my harley in the back I'm over its manufacturer rated capacity. Their dry weight is also far off

Because he's most likely exceeding the payload rating of his truck.
Any modern HD diesel truck can pull just about any 5th wheel. The max tow ratings don't mean much now days because of this. My prior truck (a 2016 SRW 3500 diesel) was rated to tow 17,200lbs but I would have exceeded my payload and possibly my rear axle and tire ratings if I had tried towing a 5th wheel that weighed that much.Brian & Kellie
