I tow a 16' tandem axle trailer loaded most of the time with firewood
I have been doing it that way for 130,000 miles now no ill effects

X2 except we have campers and livestock. 3000#s of 2 horses in a heavy dual axle trailer is as light as it gets.

care to do the math on what a cord and a half of oak firewood weighs ?

whew, dont have a clue. I'd guess somewhere around 4000+ depending on how green it is. I know we filled a 20 foot trailer as high as the cab with green cedar posts and hauled it over a 100 miles. We were really glad we had electric brakes and the old power stroke.
