I agree. And it can wreak havoc on the u-joints and suspension components. Seems like a good way to ruin a perfectly good truck.

To each his own, tho...

Re-plan your trip so you don't overnight in Needles. Plan it so you can drive across the desert in one day. Or even better, drive it at night.

My F250 does not use DEF so I don't know what affect that has. I do know that when on the highway at a constant speed on fairly flat roads it takes about 15 miles for the regen to finish, towing or...

Just to pick nits...I don't think the DEF is part of the regen process. DEF is for NOx (oxides of nitrogen) reduction and I believe it is continuously injected into the exhaust and helps the...

I think your #3 is a big factor. Manufacturers seem to put just minimum capacity running gear (axles, tires, wheels, brakes) on trailers. Going up a tire size and/or load rating will give some margin...

I use a teflon pad and lightly grease the pin where it contacts the jaws. A little grease on the jaws too. And oil or lithium grease on the moving parts of the hitch.

I disagree that it's better to go to 16" tires. It just depends. How much does the trailer weigh? Mine is similar to yours and came with 15" C rated tires. I replaced them with the next size up 15" D...

12.5 v into 1 ohm would be 12.5 amp (I=E/R).

And IIRC, Lippert bought Leland a couple years ago, who supplies frames for Jayco.

Four years for me with no problems.

I don't run a lot of pressure in them, tho. Truck empty, about 7 to 10 psi. With the trailer about 20 seems to do the trick.
