Is there too much needed?
I know going to LT tires helps with safety, if towing a lot.
But my payload is 1362, so with regular tires, my family, and a bit of cargo, I can barely hook up a 4000lb trailer without going over my payload limits.
tow capacity at 9600lbs according to the '14 tow guide I found
Unfortunately, I found out that they don't offer the max payload package on the Screw short bed, only the 6.5'
2014, Screw, eco, 4x4, brake controller, etc.. no tow package.
I need to upgrade the trans cooler, etc.. but can anything be done to the truck to help with payload weight rating?
I have towed a "too big trailer" fine, on relatively flat terrain, but trans temp was high.
We are considering a trailer, our short list ones are the non slide 26' BH around 5500lbs UVW/ 7000lb max. There are a few in the 4000lb range, but we lose family space.
