When we got our 2014 Octane 29T, we had a 2008 GMC 1500 Denali with the tow package and the 6.2 motor. Towed it about 2,500 miles using a Husky WD hitch. This truck also had upgraded tires ( E range) and a extra 1,500 leaf spring added . The truck would pull it, but it was way too heavy for the suspension. The scale weight of the trailer was right at 10,600 with full water and 2 Harley dressers on board. We do have the 4kw generator from the factory, 2 propane tanks, and 3 series 29 batteries. The tongue weight ranges from 1,680 to right at 2,000# with a full load. That's measured on a tongue scale, so it's pretty accurate. We now pull it with a GMC 3500 Duramax with a upgraded Curt hitch. I would not recommend any 1500 truck with this trailer. We do love the trailer, just not made for a 1/2 ton truck, regardless of what a salesman tells you.
