We have a 2007 Carriage Carri-lite, I think it was called a 36 foot, but measures about 38 feet. For many years I towed with a 2005 Ford F250 Diesel. Eventually I learned that I was over the weight limits in three areas; tire capacity, rear axle rating, and the gross combined rating of the truck + trailer. I updated to a 2018 Ram 3500 HD dually. I should have updated years earlier. The Ford would have no issue getting the trailer moving, but as has been noted elsewhere, I also want to stop the rig! In the business I was in hardware and rigging was supposed to have a safety factor of at least 8 times its rating. I have no idea what the safety factor is in truck ratings. I suggest you should look elsewhere for the original trailer model you wanted, or go shopping again for a heavier duty truck.
