Thats not bad, should pull nice, i think im lighter than that.

I did a test towing before I decided to purchase truck. I wanted to make sure it would be ok.
I will like the 8 foot box for camping and also turning radius with room between trailer and cab.

I have never needed the training wheels as don’t pull big loads like you are .
Had rodeo buds that do thou and started with SRW trucks and switched to the dually .
They said difference is night and day . Went from burning a good set of tires off in the rear at 40000 kms to 130000 kms with dually .
Handling , brakes are greatly improved which it should be .
If I was pulling a unit like yours quite a bit it would be a dually as well .
Nice set up .

We truck towed very well. No sway, pulls trailer easy. I weight everything at scales so I will check my axle weights.

Found I could go over speed limit easy if I wanted to.

Downside. I got stuck really bad getting into a camp spot yesterday. Lol.
