Two different trailer/trucks there... The second post, the truck was all the way forward and the wheel was hanging off that far. That's why I made two separate posts there.

The first truck trailer they have it that far back to relax the tongue weight a little... way too much load for that trailer.

I definitely wouldn't have pulled either of those.

Not sure what the towing capacity is on a 2001 Chevy 2500HD with a 6.0 gas, but I had to pull a Cat 308C CR excavator (18,000 lbs) on a 5th wheel with that thing. Talk about struggling.

Daaaaaaaaang!! I have seen and done a few tight squeezes before, but that is closer than I would be comfortable with. Got her there I guess.

How did your truck handle that? Did it do okay, or did it struggle?
