Not a bad idea to consider. Once the tongue wt. gets up in the range a load like that presents, the weight on the rear axle from the trailer's tongue weight will begin to show on the lighter tow vehicles. Espceially if you've got a load in the tow vehicle too. Most of the more modern heavier 1/2 ton trucks with a class III hitch can also handle this kind of load but you should know how and why to use a weight distributing hitch (WDH). A WDH will redistribute the weight more evenly above all axels/tires, and keep the rear set from being over loaded and the front axle from floating. Also, tow vehicles have a max tow weight that if exceeded by too much could cause extensive wear or failure of driveline parts that might make it take longer to get home!

Dave, it was 4,300 lbs. It was my first coal run. Read all about it here:

Thanks Coalberner

At the time I still had an E-250 company van, which hauled the trailer just fine.

I have used coal from this dealer before and have had very good results. The last time i checked it was $190 a ton if you pick it up yourself.
