I want to tow a 4 car trailer hauler (2 Axles) for which the just the trailer weight will be up to 23,000 lbs (Not including the weight of the truck). I do not know what truck I need to buy. I have seen pictures of people hauling this type of trailers using a Ram 3500, F 350 and Sierra 3500. I would appreciate any advise. Thnxs. |

With the dully depend in Florida as far as DOT if yur truck weight 11000 and your trailer around 14000 you dont need a CDL ... if you get a heavier trailer then yes but you can put a heavy trailer in a dully even tho they are made to pull that will kill the trany .. |
