So he has a too low ball hitch. Has nothing to do with 3/4 - or any ton rating.

X2.....just needs a WD hitch and a drop ball. Should possibly consider sway control too. Just like the previous poster said. No bearing what soever on the ton rating of the truck.

Nothing wrong with the truck for that trailer....hitch needs dialing in.

THAT set up IS an accident waiting to happen! 55, down hill no bank corner to a straight away recipe for disaster! Been there done that it's not fun.

I look at that picture and imagine the front TT axle saying, "Someone, please help meeeeeee." Quickly followed by a response from the rear TT axle, "What are you whining about?"

Doesn't look like an ideal setup but maybe he's going from the dealership to his house across town with his newly acquired TT...none of us can possibly know the details from a snapshot can we?

Other than turning his 2" drop hitch over it does not look like his truck is squatting all that much. Looks like he has enough tongue weight so it's not going to wag.


This post is my opinion (free advice). It is not intended to influence anyone's judgment nor do I advocate anyone do what I propose.
