He'll be fine for a once in awhile pull around but for a every day use you might want to beef up the 5th wheel plate . With Nate's set up he only has statically 40 # on the truck . It's the dynamic loading you need to worry about whereas , I highly doubt you will be pulling it around on uneven ground/roads at a high rate of speed Joe's D10 pulls real well on wheels but try to drag it hitched to the 5th wheel (not that we would ) looks good Nate , now I wana see a vid
