who has installed and pulled a 5er in a half ton? I have 97 ecsb k1500, 14sf 3.73, new dual core rad, high miles, shifts great, crate motor with 90k ive pulled 18/20' trailer with cars, scrap, around 5k lbs. dry weight on 5er is 5800, will not carry any water mostly empty other than some cloths. I have a reese 20k slider I picked up on craigslist, brake box and 7 pole wiring installing hitch tomorrow. I would like to have a tru cool 40k like I had in my nbs but cant get one installed for a bit.. truck also has new brakes and is up to date mechanically with e range bfg tires... just looking for any input on mounting hitch andn pulling a 5er vs bumper pull. ive hauled plenty of trailers.. heaviest being a bobcat but it wasn't far...
