Please allow me to share some expertise on this subject. Take it as you will but please listen. I have read all these posts. Some are good. Some are scary. A bigger trailer won't do you any good. you don't have enough truck to pull it. The problems I have seen many times these past years is primarily caused by pickups that are overpowered for what they are. Sure these big diesel engines turn pickups into pulling monsters. But in the end, you still only have a pickup. Accidents don't happen because you don't have the power to get going. They happen because you can't get stopped. Sure your pickup could drag this tractor down the road. But suppose someone cuts in front of you and hits the brakes. Happens to me all the time. You swerve to miss them and the weight of your load pushes the pickup out of control. Or you are going along fine on the highway and you blow a tire, either on the pickup or trailer. The load will drag you all over. Electric trailer brakes are swell on dry pavement when you are going straight. but on wet roads they lose a great deal of performance. So do as you wish. But personally, I have seen too many overloaded pickups in some nasty crashes.
