I have never run that fast with my 5.3. I would need a 100 gallon auxiliary tank in the bed to keep that up for long.

The 5,400 lb axles puts him back in the 10.k gvw category, which then requires a heavier frame, etc.
I do have a question...is the 20' plus the 3' wedge ? Also, an escape door would be a very worthwhile upgrade if ordering.
A few votes against the 7000 lb trailer………

I appreciate the feedback!!!

I think the best case scenario is to find a 2-4 year old 9900 lb GVWR trailer. (This would likely be a 24’ as they are much more common.

20’ is the cube, the V is in addition

Escape door is great but I am stretching to buy a trailer and need to keep this as low cost as possible.
