I would get a good trailer brake controller and pull it, drive slowish.
This is what people did before 1000 lb TQ diesels came out with exhaust brakes and s###.
Will it stop really quickly, no, it will not. But 25k lbs behind a new dually that is rated for it won't either, f### what the stickers on em says.
If you're not a good driver with a well maintained truck and trailer you shouldn't do this. Or if it worries you at all you shouldn't do it either. I'm a farm kid and worked on drilling rigs, gas plants, grain elevators, etc. If it'll pull it I'll hook it up. Just my .02.
No, poor people without a choice did it. And the stickers I was cursing are the ones on the new 1 tons claiming they can safely pull 29000 lbs. But then again, "safely", is always an arguable boundary.
poor people without a choice? please don't play that card with me.....there's ALWAYS a choice, always....but i do get it....i wore a hair shirt myself comin up and i don't buy that argument.....yea, sometimes you have to do what is necessary to put food on the table, but there's always a different choice to be made....PERIOD.
i did what i did and got what i got because of the decisions that i CHOSE to make.....and it cost me lots of time....and money
i can't, IN GOOD CONSCIENCE, come onto the internet and advise someone i don't know to do an irresponsible and illegal thing when i CAN think of an alternative......that would be IRRESPONSIBLE on my part.
yea it can be done...probably many times too, till the day it goes fu@kin sideways and someone gets hurt or dead....or you just get caught overweight and THAT can costs money in tickets too(then poor gets "poorer")
i've seen it way too many times, in all sorts of scenarios.....a good friend was a very good drug dealer, for many years....careful as can be....till the day he got caught and spent 10 flat in club fed.....not to mention all the costs associated with the trial......pretty much wiped out everything he saved for "retirement"....all them times he didn't think he'd get caught because "he did it all the time with no incident"......everyone gets caught.....eventually the teflon wears off........and i sure as fu@k know this.
and the stickers on certain new trucks say you can do it.....that's all what matters.
