The trip will be between St. Johns Arizona and a remote site out in the sticks. The trailer carries about 1500 gallons of water.
I don't know if I mentioned it before but this is a gooseneck trailer with two 10k axles.
Thanks again Everyone for the input.
I think your loaded weight will be closer to 20K with that much water but I would still do it without any worries.

Not sure where you're located Steve but I have basically the same truck with a 70 HP towing tune. I pulled the hill on Simmonds Road in Kenmore Wa. with my buddy's 15K# boat in tow. His 454 Suburban could only do 25 up this hill and he was afraid he was going to blow it up so he asked me pull it for him. I Started from a dead stop at the bottom of the hill and let off at 65..
A few weeks later he bought a new Dodge. ๐

Well thatโs quite the combo! You use 1st gear taking off empty I presume with those 40โ semi truck tires?
Obviously 15k is a bit over the OE rating, but youโre nowhere close to OE.
15k behind a very similar truck (our 07 with a canned tune and clutch) pulls just fine. Iโve towed that much or more a few times when my company half ton just wouldnโt cut it, lol.
That truck with a tuner and a stout clutch (or even an OE clutch) will pull 15k with relative ease on normal size tires.
The brodozer tires combined with the tall gears (for that tire size) will hurt that ability considerably.
With that clutch and rappin it out in each gear, I surmise itโs doable. But it will be much easier on you and the truck with some normal 32-34โ tall tires.
It is short trips, but if you have to start out on or pull any significant grades, Iโd 100% ditch the semi wheels for a cheap set of 8 lug OE type wheels and tires. (If you havenโt done a permanent 10 lug conversion). If relatively flat terrain, Iโd try it but be ready to use 4 lo for maneuvering the trailer to stay off the clutch.
The โrestโ of the truck will be fine if your brakes and driveshaft are in good shape and the trailer has good brakes.

Oh I know those places well Marty. I live off 228th (accross from Canyon Park Middle School) and I once drove my car off one of those hairpin turns on the Duvall end of Novely Hill road in the snow!
That poor Sub was pre-Vortec too.
