Thinking about your questions, I will provide a bit of caution though. My advice comes with the assumption that your truck is at or near 100% with all sensors, brakes, transmission, injectors and what not working as they should be.

I would recommend a high quality brake controller like a Prodigy P2 or P3 as well.

This is the trailer we bought several months ago.





This is the trailer I pulled across the country and back like a champ....

My main fear was loading a truck rated at 8800lbs 500-700 lbs over that

Don't worry about it at all. Just take your time when traveling and learn how the truck reacts and drives differently. Our trucks are way underrated and you would be amazed at some of the weight these guys are pulling with the 7.3. The tires are normally the weakest part of the equation and you have E rated tires, so hook up and enjoy life.

looks good, I think your first mod is a in the bed 7 pin plug.


Put it on the scales again after you get it loaded up.
