That's what I'd do to stop the smart "car" from blowing away in the wind.

I was just wondering.

And 2 days ago i saw a older yukon pulling a 22 footer and a new Gmc yukon denali pulling a 24 footer, they were both squating in the back but were still going 60 mph.

Depending on weight and equipment, those might be doable. Squatting is always a bad sign though. Those kind of setups are what you see on the side of the road, upside down, eventually.

What do you guys think it would take to make a 1500 pull one. New heav duty leaf spring/ new axels/ new rims and tire package? Or all of the above.

Just wondering, im kinda bored FYI

The only one way to make a 1500 safely pull that kind of load is to trade it in for something else.

Flat out don't do it. Brakes, axles, suspension, "everything" isn't made for it.

At "best", you'll break someTHING and be sitting on the side of the road waiting for an expensive tow. At worst, you'll break someBODY and those tend to not be repairable after too much damage.

It would be perfect for a 1500 to move around the yard but thats about it. Our 25ft toy hauler fully loaded beat my 1500. It pulled it but you can tell the truck was maxed out. But to move it around the block or in tight areas the smaller 1500 would work, just dont go on the freeway.
