[QUOTE="blksn8k, post: 956686, member: 64142"] Picked up the trailer on Saturday. I ordered it with the upgraded 5200 lb axles with torsion suspension and 225/75/15 tires. This thing tows like a dream. The weather was miserable, high winds and driving rain. No problems at all. I was on both two lane highways and four lane interstate. We even had one instance where we had three semis in a row pass us going in the opposite direction on a two lane (US RT 250 in Ohio). I think there was less buffeting than there would have been with no trailer. The truck also pulled the weight with no problem. There are several long grades on RT224/I-76 between Lodi and Akron and the truck was actually able to gain speed going up those hills. The only time I exceeded the 65 mph limit was topping one of those hills. I realize it will be a different story loaded but so far the ST and the trailer have far exceeded my expectations. I haven't tried it but I think I could easily stop the truck using the trailer brakes only. [b][Broken External Image][/b]: [/QUOTE]
