So....hooked up the goose neck trailer(no horse or extra water tank) to my 88F250 7.3 IDI and went to the weight scales at truck stop. This was my print out Steer axle 3720 lb.
Trailer axle 5320 lb
Drive axle 5100 lb
Gross weight 14140 lb
Keep in mind the horse is at about 1100 lb and whatever 80 gals of water is will be added. My question is.... is this too much for the old girl... I know the hills are gonna be slow, but we don't have too many of them where I go. The seller I got the truck from said should be no problem but I am now finding out he was a dolt!!!!!If I have to I will get a smaller trailer cause I like this truck a lot!!!!
Give me some feedback on your thoughts.
thanks in advance
