Nah, I think a truck like that weighs in at about 10k and the trailer is probably 4k empty, so that's 14k. I think the dually Super Duties of that year can tow 19k, so it should be able to handle it fairly well. As for stopping, I would bet that that trailer has electric brake, so it shouldn't be too bad. I have a 97 Ford F-350 Powerstroke that I tow 10k with and the trailer brakes keep everything in check.

One of my kids would have fallen on the bolts and re-bar spikes by now and my wife would have busted a few tires too.

Moving my kids down here from NY last summer. Borrowed my bro-in-law's motorcycle trailer. Taken at a service plaza on the NY Thruway.



Usually the only thing I tow is my jetski.

Well, I was towing with the 83 Bronco, 351w/c6 4wd, power everything....

Got this awhile back and it has been my new towrig/dd.

85 Chev suburban silverado package, 6.2 Diesel, Banks Sidewinder turbo kit w/3 inch straight pipe, 700r4 w/HD converter, np241 Tcase, 14bFF rear with Gov bomb, 8 lug 10 bolt up front open, 35s on 16s, 8" lift all spring.....

It tows my LJ around just fine, and towed home the new trailer for my dads ranger today.

I will try and get pics when i get to the truck that is at my work. It is a 1958 M35 6x6 with a DD15 Detroit Diesel 14.8L. Nothing too fancy, just a stock truck with the 5spd replaced with a Eaton Super18 18spd(one of my big customers is Eaton in Costa mesa). This thing is powerful in 1st and low 6x6. The motor is rated at 1800ft/lbs, more then enough to move an 80,000lbs machine.
