    I was not driving aggressive but if you wish to have that opinon there is nothing I can do about that. People cut me off several times and then brake checked me. Twice it was a Prius. I just drove the truck for the first time since picking the car up this morning and the brakes feel fine so maybe what I was feeling was my trailer brakes because the truck isn't pulsing now.

    I would also point out that the picture was taken 5 minutes after loading the car. I was in that lot just to move the car back about 10" which leveled the truck a tad more but it still could use bags. More so when I load the Benz on it for the Half Mile next month.

    Thanks for your input though. It will be taken under advisement and management will get back with you.
    Regardless, towing at 100mph is asinine. I just don't get the immaturity and arrogance of doing that. Perhaps, I'm just too old school. You seem to have it all figured out, so by all means carry on.

      Yeah, it was night and day difference with mine. 30PSI in the bags and I towed a 4300lbs car for 220 miles, didn't even feel it. Still not as good as my K2500 diesel, but better than most 1/2 ton trucks.

      Yeah I agree. I had put drop shackles on it when I bought it not really expecting to haul a car with it. Now I am thinking of puttin it back at the stock height or putting assist bags on it.
      Bags alone would probably do it.

      I usually flip a heavy car around backwards on that style of trailer. Put the weight over the axles and it tows great.

          My truck is as low as I'll comfortably go for driving around to and still using it as a truck when the need arises. I've got the Air Lift SlamAir kit on mine - it's only rated at 2,000 pounds - and I've pulled my Mustang on my trailer with zero problems.

          With your truck being so close to stock height, you'll be able to get the 5,000# bags and you'll never have any problems. Well, other than maybe losing control at 100+ mph.

            Ive never seen a trailer tire that I would trust at 100.

              Yeah I was stupid. I was aggervated and just wanted home and had to shit so I went too fast. You all are right. I was under 70 (and usually under 10) from San Antonio all the way through Austin but by the time I got off 130 I had enough and was just impatient. That 3 hour drive took nearly 9 and I was late for a date.
              No excuse though, it was dumb.
              But the truck could do it which is what impressed me. I have no intention of doing it again though.

              As for loading of the car, was the first time I used the trailer. I had just bought it Monday and was learning all its in and outs. Next time I will back the car on. I had already figured with th 5000lb CL that I would have to anyway.
