Some hauling I did today. Wheel Horse tractor with 7 other push mowers. In the trailer and had about 450lbs in the bed. Isn't much, but the heaviest I hauled in awhile

I will tell you, don't get rid of a 2500 then "volunteer" your truck to tow. Pulling this was rough enough with a W/D hitch and my truck smelled.
Listen to him, voice of experience

Maybe he just wants an excuse to rebuild his transmission?

I don't have a picture, but I have towed a HD trailer full of roofing supplies for my house. I am sure I was way over recommended weight but no issues.

X2 about 4-5 months after I hauled that jeep 2 hours and a Kia two hours back my trans was gone. Don't know if it was related or not but I'm sure it definitely helped it along.

Like stated, at the very least, you need a WDH and trailer brakes/controller to be safe(er), and some tires to be that can handle the load.
Even then it's still well over the legal limit of the truck.

If the trailer really weighs 10k, the tongue weight will be around 1000 lbs, the stock hitch is rated at 500-600lbs tongue weight without a proper WDH.
I aint disgregaurding nothin. I was jokin. i dont even feel comfortable with my truck hauling all that. He said he didnt think hebwas a good idea but the 2500s gotta go for him he cant afford driving to work everyday with it. We'll figure somthin out tho he'll probally borrow his sons f350 to move it down to the lake

I don't blame you though.
I wouldn't want to hammer the **** out of my truck either, not worth it.
Especially if his own son has an F350.

My heaviest haul in this truck to date. I'm guessing around 4k pounds. She did good.
