I ran out and bought the newly redesigned 14 as soon as it came out, boasted about towing blah blah blah. It was a 14 CC, 5.3, 6 speed, 3:42 rear and one day the kids wanted me to take them to Holiday World in Willis Tx. They fell in love with a 32’ TT and on it was a big sign with “HalfTon Towable”, I thought I’d surprise them so I wrote out a big check and picked it up very next day. I bought the Distribution Hitch along with other crap. I noticed driving it home to surprise the family it was really heavy and somewhat unpredictable but thought weighing only 7K lbs shouldn’t be a problem. Speeding along, kids loved it etc etc. While driving (family in another vehicle) a 300 mile trip to a camping sight caused me to smoke a full pack of cigarettes.... I don’t smoke but the stress of towing this trailer was horrendous! This 7k trailer should’ve been easily towed behind this newly advanced truck claiming to tow 9k, NOT! It completely slapped the 1500 around like a rag doll. I sold it a week later which was one of the happiest days of my life. Btw, I also only got maximum 5 mpg’s...5 MPG’S!!!! Ended up filling up half way to Dallas and another in FortWorth...HA! Ran out and bought a brand new LTZ Z71 DMax, picked up a new 9k Winnebago 5th wheel and the slapping around like a rag doll never ever happened again but reversed. The 1500’s are great trucks but do not recommend towing more than 6k in one without doing a lot of mods like airbags etc. Sent from above
