I recently purchased a new 3950 and have pulled it 3 or 4 thousand miles so far. I pull it with a 3/4 ton chev duramax short box and 265 tires. I recently weighed it and found it weighed more than I thought. With nothing in the garage, 30 gallons of fresh water, nothing in grey or black tanks, a few clothes, some groceries, pots, pans, etc. I weighed 17,000 and had 7400 pounds on the rear axle. The 265 tires (up from 245 factory) 10 ply tires are rated at 6,800 lbs. I am exceeding the tire and axle weights. I pulled some weight out of my toolbox and moved a few things from the storage area to the rear of the garage. I will now only carry 20 gallons of water or so (maybe none). I will be putting about 600 lbs in the garage (motorcycle) to help "lift the front end up". I have installed a Hypertech tuning module and am running it on Module 1 (+76 HP) If I install a pyrometer to meter the turbo heat I can run on Module 2 (+94 hp) or if very careful watching temps on module 3 (+113 hp). Pulling this size of trl you should really think about at least a 1 ton or larger with dual tires on rear.
