What is the average weight that you tow with your 2500HD? I've had to turn down some 18,000lb loads because my truck won't handle that. I'm looking to get another 2500, but wonder if the airbags help out the load enough to support that kind of weight, or I should just get a dually. Don't want the dually unless necessary.

For that kind of weight you'll need a dually

Usually it's an 8000 pound camper. I have pulled a 13000 pound trailer. Truck weighs 8300 alone. Get above a 10k load truck loses speed uphill.

 

18K trailer consideration of dually depends on weight on rear axel. SRW is limited by tire rating.

Usually the load is not very tongue heavy, well balanced on the triple axles. I wouldn't haul them often, so I don't know that I want to buy a truck based around that. Might just stick with a 2500HD, and have it set up about like yours.

Getting these now because the other tires are not in production and on back order for a year or more.

My TOYO M/T tires were awesome for the 1k miles I had them. Guess I need to update my profile and delete the 02 from it [emoji17]

I have driven all day on ice pulling campers before. I like narrow tires for ice.

Oil change, new belts and a motorvac...now she's got her pep back again! Far better than any of those injector cleaners in a can! :thumbs;

Mud terrains are awful on ice

The more siping the better... Which MT's don't have much of. Digging through deep snow is another story. Although I was impressed with how my AT's do in deep snow compared to the mudgrips on my old pickup, I'm sure the locker helps out a little too. No need for 4x4 in 8 inches.

Just need weight in the bed

To me, adding much weight to a 4x4 is a losing battle. Yes, more traction, but also more weight to stop. Granted, whenever I'm driving in snow I usually have a few hundred pounds of gear in the bed anyway.

 

 

Can't put a street tire on a big truck

These are a 33". Will get great traction.
