I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. This is a quality heavy PJ trailer but it should pull easier that what it is. The Chevy has the factory brake controller. I though maybe the controller was malfunctioning and applying some brake. So I jacked up the trailer and spun the wheels (with the truck running and in drive). Not the brake controller.

I have a Chevy 2016 2500hd 6.0 gas. Regular cab. 4x4 . Its a work truck, not a decked out luxury truck. Let me start by saying I had a 2006 Dodge Ram MegaCab 2500 4x4 5.7 gas. I used the Ram to pull a newer PJ 16' landscaping trailer. I though it pulled it very well. Now the Chevy. Its a regular cab...so smaller and lighter. Its new. It has a slightly bigger engine. But It really struggles to pull this trailer compared to the Ram. There is no doubt that there is a trailer behind the Chevy. I'm really disappointing in it!! I have to keep my foot heavy on the gas. And the trailer might only have one zeroturn mower on it, not 10k pounds of dirt. The truck is still fairly new, only 2800 miles. I thought at the beginning that it need a little breaking in. I wouldnt dare pull a camper or something tall with lots of surface area. This trailer is low and really has no wind resistance like a camper would have. I bought the extended power train warranty so I dont want to tinker with the engine and void the warranty, unless there is something the dealer can do and still honor the warranty.

For those who have added custom wheels for their 4x4 2500/3500s lets see some pics and let us know what make/model/offset/...etc
