That a fair amount of weight on a bumper pull trailer. My tow capacity is 17,037 pounds, and I have no desire to be maxed out like that. My TT is 9000 pounds, and the 3/4 ton doesn’t care at that weight, zero sag with my WDH setup.

Kind of curios what kind of mileage are you getting empty? I just got my 35000 with 4:10 gears last weekend it got 13.1 new with under 300 miles I was pretty happy mix of city and hwy at 73+ mph.
