14K with a 3/4ton and bumper pull. I sure hope you had brakes on that thing. Just because a truck can "pull" something doesnt mean it should be on the highway with other people. I see way to many people get hurt doing stuff like that. I have done some stupid things with trailers but not anymore. I almost lost a buddy to unsafe cargo.

 

i have brakes on my dodge truck i have a pretty hefty sized custom built hitch so it wasn't unsafe at all... the funny part was when we got to the place were we dropped it off.. it was a truck shop they were gonna restore the tanker... they had a truck scale and for fun i wanted to weight my truck with the trailer loaded.. truck and trailer with that tanker on it weighed in at 22,568lbs it was awesome i still got the slip in my truck

 

I meant trailer brakes. Is yours equipped?

 

Trailer brakes? What are those??

 

my trailer has brakes yes... do i have a trailer brake controller in my truck? NO... i see no point in spending 200 bucks for a controller...

 

My baby half ton even has a brake controller lol, never used it tho being none of our trailers brakes work...

 

I would if you pull anything on a regular basis. $200 is nothing. I have hauled with and without trailer brakes and I will never pull any significant weight without them again. My little 1500 has a controller in it and the biggest trailer I will pull with it is my dads 18Ft tandem( with brakes). Just my opinion brother.

 

my trailer is a 2010 model got it jan 11.. it has brakes lol i'm sure there brand new lol never been used...

 

yes but my thinking is why spend money on something i dont need... i been towing 8k-18k with my truck for about 3 years now... and i have never had any problems stopping or etc... i 've also towed a pup trailer once it was 10k it was old title said 1970 on it


(this was like 4 months after i hauled the tanker... i got 18s on it in this photo i miss the wheels)

 

Just because you havent had problems yet doesn't mean it will not happen. My buddy was pulling a tracked bobcat with a gas 2500 chevy with no brakes on the interstate. had to come to a quick stop going 70 and put the trailer through the back window of the cab. Just because your truck will stop does not mean the load will. Like I said just my opinion, you will do what you want no matter how many opinions you here.
