Nihilus, thanks for the comments. The trailer is 7100 lbs, it's about another 650 lbs with my Harley in the back. My truck has 3:55 gears, I wish it had 3:73. I bought the truck with the tow package on it but unfortunately it didn't come with a trailer brake control so I paid to have the dealer put one in. Here some pics of the inside of the trailer.

I have not picked up my new F-150, but I can show pictures of the trailer.

Here’s a recent pic of our current set up. For obvious reasons I’ve been embarrassingly hesitant on uploading .
Yes, overkill, I know .

Nothing embarrassing about a pop-up at all, we all started somewhere...

Isn't the truck sagging an aweful lot? Lol

No worries...like was already said, we all (at least most of us) started that way.

Nothing to be embarrassed about at all. I'd trade my bulky, clunky, hardwall for an easy to maneuver, easy to store, popup any day of the week if the missus would let me. That's what I wanted to begin with, but she won that argument. I mean honestly- you sleep in it. You aren't hosting parties in it!

It does kinda look that way doesn’t it. Rest assured no sag in the rear end at all (I’m talking about the truck, not the missus). It may look that way in the pic but I think it’s due to the ball mount having too much of a drop so the trailer coupler is sitting a tad too low.

Loaded truck, with three kids. Cruise control set at 110kph and the transmission never dropped out of 6th gear (even up the hills). LOL!
