I really need to see his hitch set up to answer this question. As long as it has a WD set up he should be fine.

Hopefully he wasn't going too far. If that's the case, he's all set.

You should've seen the way the tires were bouncing on that trailer at 80+ mph.

That is a friend of mine. He bought it with a Duramax in it to pull his 25' Outlaw, but it wouldn't do it so he had to trade the boat for the ski, it pulls the ski ok until he comes to a hill.

I think that setup will be OK. Notice how there isn't any sway at all as the dually passes the semi.

Not as bad as backing up an empty mini hawk trailer with a 4500.
