Those tires look tiny in this pic.

I can see how payload capacity might not be great even though I’m rated for 1500 pounds. I’ve got a cross bed toolbox with junk in it, 280# of salt bags, and 4 42# tires in my five foot bed. I can’t say the suspension is sagging but it seems bouncy at this weight. I’m gonna start by replacing...

GM and Ranger have the highest tow capacity. GM twins are 21 gal. EDIT: Frontier is 21 gal. The Colorado diesel will allegedly get almost 30 mpg empty and 20 towing. I considered it for a minute but decided against for reliability issues. Mostly sensors and emissions crap.

I switched from a 2500hd Chevy to a ranger last week. 26k for a three year old 4x4 truck that’s rated to tow 7,500lbs. Getting 20mpg in mixed winter driving. The 2500 was like driving a house compared to this. I like the little turbo engine. Just got 235/85r16 (32”)winter tires delivered via...

I’ve had a couple types of all terrain tires and for on road winter travel I’ve not been impressed. I haven’t found they have any advantage over a good all season highway tire. Here in MN I now run dedicated snow tires because it stays cold for months on end.

Maybe one of these instead? https://topperezlift.com/index.php/product/topperlift-lifting-kit-only/

Maybe a problem with the brake pad sensor?

Does the torque converter lock up in that auto? I think that can make a big difference.

Toy hauler would be the best option, but the layout of those can be weird. I don’t know about hanging it off the back of the trailer. What affect would that 300lbs have in regards to tongue weight.Would it offset the trailers existing 300lbs of tongue weight? That could be sketchy.

That’s practically a rust free new truck in MN.

Clean first then put a dab of self leveling lap sealant on any suspect area. be advised if you try to do too close to the edge of roof it will drip down side of rig

I thought those old 6.0’s were dual in dual out?

I love those those tires, are they as old as they look? How do they compare to more modern tires? What’s the cruising speed on that rig?

Oh and a 4 speed trans you had to lock out of fourth gear for towing.

The trailer has 120hp driving its wheels. Might be an interesting idea for the off road trailers for more traction?

If you buy a cheap meter with an amp clamp triple check that it can measure DC amps not just AC amps.

I would think an add a leaf would be sufficient. No first hand experience though.

Must be close to max height?

30 years ago the small block trucks where roughly 210 hp and 285 tq. My wife’s accord makes more power than that now.
