Remember the trailer has weight also. My 18 ft tandom axle trailer w/electric brakes weighs 1,800 pounds so if you add that to the tractor your at about 4500 pound more than your truck is.

I sure would not want to get on the freeway with it! Let alone slam on my brakes or have to steer fast around another car. Mark H.
