Whats the weight on your Tractor / Trailer?

2271 on the tractor/cab, + the backhoe and bucket, don't know what the trailer weighs. Towed about 1 hour, non highway, lots of hills. Wasn't a problem.

edit: plus the rear tires are weighted, so thats probably pretty friggen heavy.

6k lbs total maybe?

Thanks! I'm thinking of buying a 6000 lb dry weight 28 ft travel trailer 600 lb Tongue Weight. Sounds like I'll be fine with a load balancing torsion bar hitch. If I get a lot of rear sag I'll add a pair of Airlift air bags to the rear suspension.

Fully loaded GVWR will be 7,500 to 8,000 lbs depending on brand/model. Will be buying one of the "Lightweight" Trailers. I have a 2017 SCREW so its rated to tow up to 8800 lbs GVWR.

If anyone out there is already towing a similar large travel trailer and has recommendations or lessons learned please let me know. My Raptor is still all stock no lift only AFE CAI added so far.

Mahalo! HT
