Re: How strong is the frame?

Frame strength doesn't have a whole lot to do with it IMO. Assuming 10% pin weight and 10,000 GVWR trailer you are only looking at 1000# in the bed.

What you should REALLY be worried about are brakes, cooling, transmission and tires.

And if you are looking at hauling more than 10,000# around all the time you should consider more truck.
