Handles it just fine. 8K tags on the truck. 10K tags on the trailer. I won't buy a truck that requires more than 8K tags because there is no safety inspections that way. 10K or more and you need a safety inspection every 6 months, and there have been years I didn't fuel the truck that often. I run 10 ply tires to handle the weight, and with sway bars front & rear it isn't the least bit squirrely.

im digging the horse trailer and love that dog. cute pup
-
What leads you to believe he’s overloading his drive axle with his trailer? He’s got a tandem trailer axle so he can load it tail heavy.
-
Just lost him a couple weeks ago. Had him almost 11 years.
-
He’s right.
My 2017 Ram for example, it’s registered for 10k, but the axle ratings add up to somewhere north of 12k. By the registered weight I can put 2500 lbs in it, but I can tow about 16k and some change.JohnnyEWR, Stubby T Slapnutt and Pedigreed Bulldog Thank this. -
kinda sounds like he wants to haul material in a 20 yard rolloff and f250 which only works with a tandem axlle real rolloff truck. thats all im saying. Rolloff 20 yarder with f250, he will be restricted to mulch, trash or landscape brush. He will never be overloaded. Forget about maxing out a 20 yarder with dirt or stoneJohnnyEWR, Stubby T Slapnutt and MACK E-6 Thank this.

I was planning to have a fill line for concrete dirt ext but I have some contacts in the new construction space and remodelingCam Roberts Thanks this.

I'm still looking for a good used roll off trailer I'm just trying to understand how often I would haul more than 9 tons
-
Just dont take concrete or dirt loads and you will be fine. A 20 yd full of asphalt shingles is 6 to 8 tons.
