pulling a 26' trailor
 
i have the chance to get a 26' enclosed trailor for a great price. i was looking for a 24' but this is a pretty good deal. i have a 2004 2500HD sierra with the gas 6.0L. do you guys think id be ok pulling that trailor with my truck.

yes, you will be fine. Find out the max GVW on the trailer though. Then what rear gears are in your truck, and you can see what your truck is rated for. But for the most part, you will be fine. I tow a 23' camper with my truck and its weaksauce to yours.

get a weight distributing hitch for your truck also. Like this one

Do you have a brake controller? If not, one like this is fine

We pull a 26' travel trailor with a 1500 Ram :shock: You should be just fine.

Just make sure the truck is truly rated to tow the weight and the trailer and car inside don't exceed the truck's tow rating. I keep hearing stories of people getting pulled over and weighed and the traile/car exceed the truck's towing rating and they will make you unhitch it right there on the side of the highway.
