I pull a 9,000 lbs enclosed trailer with a car/shop behind a 12,000 lbs 403 powered Royale. Thus a 21,000lbs GVW. Weight on the GMC from that trailer is in the 1,200 lbs range. Granted. This extra weight is carried low. But 5 feet behind the far back wheels. Pulls, and handles fine at 75MPH. There are no extra sway bars, or any tracking improvements. But not fast from a stop light. What is a must to carry these extreme weights. Is a GMC that's has a very good original suspension system under it. Bob Dunahugh 78 Royale
