Calm down. Your 1500's can pull about double of what they are rated for. Just ask this guy...

^^LMAO.
The truck pulled the skid steer pretty well, but I had to brake way before hand to slow that load down with no trailer brake and one time I did lock up the brakes. Like I said I was just imagining that the skid steer and trailer wasnt more than 4000lbs and would have been dissappointed with the trucks performance if that was the case but after researching things I realized I was hauling more than 4 tons.

Alpheus is that a joke or something you fabbed up because that is the dumbest thing I have ever seen and I've seeen some dumb things before.
A tailgate pulling a camper..lmao Like that tailgate has enough holding capacity. It's held on by 2 lousy metal brackets on each side. Maybe they were going from one trailer park to the next right accross the street...lmao

laughing my ****** ******* *** off!!!

Umm, yeah I did see the tailgate support and the chains that are prob rated for like 50lbs max. Like that makes everything okay anyways??..lol
Who's common sense is 0%? Mine or his? That was a pretty lame response there bud if you were talking about me. Totally uncalled for.
Did you read the
ATTENTION MEMBERS about ruined posts lately??? Too many members are being childish on here. I have to say no more.

The 4x4 supporting the tailgate is an engineering marvel! Love it.

The Blazer pics are about as old as the internet and were a hoax.

GIXXER I love it Ive been in motorcycle sales for 6 years and every time some one ask's me about on I tell them they dont exist. I needed to pull the trailer and had no time to install a trailer brake it wasnt that bad.
O and I put that nos stuff in my truck about a month ago and it didnt do any thing it actually made my truck run worse any idea's?
