Do you pull with a halfton or 3/4? Just switching to LT tires on a halfton from the factory P series helps tremendously.

1/2 ton. LX570. Had plenty of power and the hydraulic leveled suspension makes it a breeze to tow with without screwing up suspension geometry.

What is the towed weight? I think I am around 6500 pounds with the 240, so you must be at or over 10,000 pounds?

Heres some pics.

If I pulled that past our local weigh station thats enroute to the lake, I would get stopped merely axle count regardless of actual weight. They have been targeting 3/4s and larger pickups that are licensed commercially as then you need a CDL.

Mind you I would not have a problem pulling that anywhere with my 1/2 ton

I weighted the trailer at a station because I had to in order to register it. The triple axle trailer was right at 1320lbs. I can stop at a station next time I have the boat on to weigh the total. I bet it will be right around 8800lbs.
