I have a 5 by 8 tilt trailer that I have to back it on and had to add an extension on to the front to give it enough tongue weight. Trailer is rated for 1500 lbsView attachment 125194
Homemade trailer for winter/tracks. 2015 Nissan Frontier. It works ok but I’m pushing the weight limits in the box. I didnt trust the tailgate so I made up a support from the hitch. Most half tons sag with stock springs.
I made these hard strap braces to keep the tailgate wedged against the 30" tires, this is why I sold my short bed superduty and went with a long bed. I will NEVER own another shortbox truck again. I can tow this truck with the P5 in the bed behind the motorhome, or tow a small boat or camper.
