Like I mentioned before, check your owners manual for limitations, it'll be in there. I don't have access to one right now or I'd tell yuh what your truck is good for. Hitch is only rated for 5000, but you'll be alright there for what your doing. Just have a good ball mount for it. Figure the trailer empty between 1900 - 2400 lbs.
Oh and make sure you load the truck nose first...or you'll be bitch slapping folks off the road lol. You most likley figured it out by now...finding the right trailer for rent might be tricky. You'll have to hit up place that sells them, find one parked in someones drive, -willing to rent it out or rental outfit in the area. Might take some work locating one. Cars or mid-size trucks are easy, more options...full size truck, not so much.

Hey... speaking of dumb azz questions. I can't believe what someone just posted on a Utah page.... I'm ashamed to say it is a Utah page, LOL...
EDIT: Holy crap, here's another gem... must have a cell phone bill coming up. Damn iPhone generation.

I took a drive up to Sutton this morning, and picked up the wheels I mentioned the other day. Sure enough, 5x135 bolt pattern, but in 16 in with 8 inch wide and zero offset. Not a bad find. American Racing AR62's for nothing. Clean damn wheels, but no center caps (57. delivered for 4). I might just have to find some nice 275/285's for them.
This is what they look like, and the price was really right. I took this pic from eBay but I have identical rims, and every bit as clean. Jeep pic for sample look.

I thought ford had a wheel similar to that for our trucks- maybe only in a 16”- if i was to put new wheels on mine, id try to find some 17” in stock width and offset- i like the look of them!
i know, im on here late!- im still at work

I used to work with 5 high school Buddy's. Now it's gone from 6 of us to just 2 of us left. Miss those days.... all packing into a car, going out to eat after work at midnight....
Now we've all got families, etc.

We’re all buddys- we’ve all worked in maintenance for 20+ years (either in the same shop or on down days, we are closer/ spend more time together than some families- so we do what we can to get a guy out if he need/wants it.
