I hooked up my 26’ flatbed yesterday and made a run for just over an hour each way. Trailer is about 1500 lbs and I had about 1800 in cargo. No major issues pulling it. However the truck had serious squat. I have a scale coming to measure the tongue weight. I moved the weight the the rear of the trailer but stayed at 55mph all the way home as the rear would start to fish tail. I have air bags coming so that will help squat. Hopefully tongue weight is at or below 1100lbs.
I can easily see how 1500s have issues towing as I could definitely tell the truck was lighter than my 3500 dually diesel. But no issues pulling to stopping - trailer has brake on Both axles.
