Thanks. I had suspected load distribution was a major factor. I haven't tried a weight distribution hitch. I had less tail-wag when I had my toolbox and compressor mounted up front and the car further forward.

I really like the new dodge ram dually. But its expensive!!

Is the major difference between a 1/4 ton and one ton the frame or suspension. And can you install the springs/shocks/etc from a junkyard 1 ton onto a 1/4 ton? Or are the frames so less sturdy they fall way short?

I could pick up (no pun intended) a used 1/4 ton cheap, and I was thinking of just installing 1 ton suspension parts. And another thread suggested a load helper bag?

I think GM is using the isuzu diesel and Ford and Dodge are cummings. I like the big blocks but gas prices are outrageous and off-road diesel is even cheaper and easy to get down south.

Greg, you had a 350 van at the ARRC. Were you pulling an enclosed trailer? And could it if you weren't?
