Thanks, it pulls so well i don't even know the trailer is there. Bought the trailer before we got the truck and then saw an awesome deal on a Ceedar Creek 38flr earlier this year. Might wait a while then look for another deal on that same floor plan for the 5er. Got the truck 'cos the DW rear ended someone with the Caravan a few weeks ago. Gave me an excuse to 'go large' in anticipation of the next RV upgrade while I still had her guilt for the crash. 😄

As long as nobody was injured... Evil but whatever works. like your style. lol
My DW usually takes a couple years of hints before I get to upgrade. Slow but methodical gets it done!

No I didn't airbag my truck, but instead put in an Airsafe Hitch rated at 20K. Now none of the chuck is transmitted to the frame and then the airbags, its all absorbed in the hitch. The thing pulls like I'm on a cloud! I am planning on putting shocks on the trailer to help even more.

Newbie's to trailer life and probably went a little over board with the TT. Maiden voyage was out to Moab, UT over the continental divide and back. What makes this work is a new ProPride 3P hitch.

That's a lot of payload on a crew cab Titan. Not being the weight police, but I traded from a king cab Titan to a F350 because of the weight. Could never load anything in the truck.
Night and Day difference! Much happier.
Most people who say "my 1/2 tows like a dream", never towed with a 3/4 or 1 ton truck.
I see a new truck in your future.

I actually recommended a Chevy the other day. Our neighbor has an F-150. His son was visiting from the city last week and mentioned one evening that he is considering a pickup truck. He said he likes the looks of the F-250, then asked my opinion.
I noticed his bow tie and asked his profession.
His dad stated: "He's an aspiring metrosexual".
I said: "He should look into a Chevy"...
