That sorry rig is probably enough weight to max out and old diesel one ton, prior to say 2008 or so. Now days the towing numbers are staggering, but back then this would of Maxed it out, I think.

Hey there's some people on this site pulling #10,000 with their 150's, tri axle trailers. Mines just over 7000 empty. The newer 1/2T's will pull them, but you max out payload pretty quick. Hitch weight is 10/15% of the trailer, that counts towards payload. Then you you have to figure gas people, options the vehicle has on it....The vehicle we pulled my trailer with was 385 hp, we were into the power quite a bit.
Then there's stability, the half tons DO NOT pull that weight like the 1 tons. In a one ton your the boss, -1/2 ton that trailers the boss lol.
