No, you need a semi tractor to safely pull a pop-up and
not endanger your family's lives, nor endanger anyone on the highway, avoid any legal problems when in an accident, avoid a DOT agent pulling you over for a weight check, keep from over stressing your TV leading to early equipment failure, and be able to stop on a dime.

Texas plates, probably either a rancher or just likes big trucks and saw no need to buy a smaller vehicle just to tow a small trailer.

Without having Cat tickets from the scales and showing us pics of his yellow sticker in his door jam you can’t make a fair evaluation of this situation. Keep your two cents to yourself with this very important information sir! Haha

They are planning for the trailer AFTER the next one... 
I wonder what he's using for a hitch, Blue Ox with 1500lb bars?

Nice !! I'm sure people say that about me as well. I have six trailers to play with. Everything from a 5 x 8 utility trailer to a 14K camper.

We pulled my wife's little 9 foot jet ski with an 8 foot bed F350 one time. Couldn't even see the handlebars in the mirrors. I have a picture somewhere. Very funny.

Talked with him. He plans to have a 5th wheel in a few years. Wanted to have the truck paid for before he bought the RV.. Good plan, I guess. Said he has been getting ribbed for the past 18 months ! Really good matured guy!
