That was with the weight distribution hitch that it bottomed out my 1/2 ton! My Excursion doesn't move 1 inch with the same setup! Although I do have air bags pumped up to 90 psi! Trust me there is no way after trying that, that I am going to pull my hauler with a 1/2 ton!! I will stay with the Ex for now...... My hauler can already be a handful with the Excursion at times!

If that is the case, you definitely need a 250 or bigger. Also, judging from that alone (plus what it did to the Sierra), I have my doubts that your hauler only weighs 11k.
