[QUOTE="mrbb, post: 132671, member: 13825"] yes I still agree, don't use either vehicle as is your 1/2 ton receiver is NOT made for the weight and I will pretty much bet the ball and ball holder are also NOT rated for this weight its asking for issues and again, should something happen, with you knowing these things, your INS will not cover anything, all would then be out of pocket, not saving you anything! your best resolution is fix the brake controller on the 450, that or again, have someone with correct tow vehicle/trailer, tow it for you! a lot can happen in a 25 mile trip, most accidents happen close to home you know?/ in my area over a 25 mile trip I will gain and loose a 500 to 1500 + ft in elevation about 12 times, , so not sure what your terrain looks like, but, for me, all them hills here , would kill OEM brakes on a f450 with 13k behind it, I also have DOT check stations in every direction from my place too, HAHA so, I have to be extra careful when towing larger things!
