Dry is 15k? What kind of trailer is that? I have buddy with a 37ck Next Level with a bedroom slide and it isn't that heavy dry. I tow a 34 foot Weekend Warrior. I am close to 14-15k when loaded. It does fine and I am within the weight limits of the truck. Its not that the trucks can't handle more weight, but if you are in accident and the insurance finds out that weight was a factor you can kiss some assets goodbye. Here is my set-up with an 05 F350.
