| Anyone have any experience pulling 20 to 24ft livestock trailers (gooseneck). I am just looking for advice, any suggestions, etc. What can I expect. I have only pulled bumper pulls before and this is the first gooseneck I have had. Any ideas/advice that I need to be aware of would be welcome. |

| If you fill up the trailer, you can be seriously overloaded. Especially the 24'. Most 24'x7' are behind 1 ton DRW, and when loaded are a handfull. |

Location: Rocky Mount N.C. | Your gooseneck trailer weight with 3.73 axle ratio should not exceed 8200#, with 4.10 gears you are limited to 10200#. |

Location: Munster, Ontario, Canada | I have a 2500HD and pull a 04 Sundowner 777. I think often and question that I have too much truck for this trailer, and sometimes think that a 1500HD would have been fine. |
