the truck will handle it, its gonna be heavy, but it will handle it fine.
under 26K combined and you'll be fine.
mine seems to run better the more weight there is behind it. ive got 3.73 gears and 35" tires and it will pull anything at any speed.

Copied from NYSDMV site
Operator, Class D: Issued to drivers age 18 or over, or to drivers age 17 with Driver Education. Valid for passenger cars and trucks with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 26,000 lbs. or less. A Class D driver can drive a vehicle that tows another vehicle (for example a trailer) that has a maximum gross weight of 10,000 lbs. or less. A Class D driver can tow a vehicle with a GVWR of more than 10,000 lbs only if the combined weight rating of the two vehicles is 26,000 lbs. or less. See the important information about changes for Class D drivers that result from a law that eliminates the Non-CDL Class C license.

I don't feel qualified to help you understand English, as this is the 3rd language for me.

So the line that says what you CAN drive/tow trumps another line that says what you can also tow?
That'd be like saying that since I have a class A I can only drive combinations over 26k.

Seriously. Why in your mind does this line.....
Trump this line?
A Class D driver can drive a vehicle that tows another vehicle (for example a trailer) that has a maximum gross weight of 10,000 lbs. or less.
A Class D driver can tow a vehicle with a GVWR of more than 10,000 lbs only if the combined weight rating of the two vehicles is 26,000 lbs. or less.

I'd say the crucial difference here is using "only if" but again, I am not an expert in the field.
The way I see it you are trolling here, what is fun, but in this case your trolling brings more confusion to the subject that is confusing on its own. Nothing good can come out of this.

Looks like typical law wording to me. Up for interpretation by any law man to siute his needs/wants on the side of the highway. No debate really as the two contradict themselves. Remember its not about your safety at all but only to generate revenue for **** poor money management.

Lets go over it again...
Operator, Class D: Issued to drivers age 18 or over, or to drivers age 17 with Driver Education. Valid for passenger cars and trucks with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 26,000 lbs. or less.
A Class D driver can drive a vehicle that tows another vehicle (for example a trailer) that has a maximum gross weight of 10,000 lbs. or less.
A Class D driver can tow a vehicle with a GVWR of more than 10,000 lbs only if the combined weight rating of the two vehicles is 26,000 lbs. or less. See the important information about changes for Class D drivers that result from a law that eliminates the Non-CDL Class C license.
Lets summarize...
You CAN drive any vehicle under 26k lbs.
You CAN tow any trailer under 10k lbs.
You CAN tow any trailer over 10k lbs, so long as the trailer AND vehicle aren't over 26k.
Where's the contradiction again?

I bet I add little confusion to anyone that gets it, and can read. You telling people that they need a class A when they don't adds confusion. You pretending to know federal law adds confusion.
