We haven't used it or pulled it yeat, tow vehicle is 2005 4by4 4door 8foot bed,hopefully will add tow bars before first trip.
Any one familiar with this trailer?
 
I have seen many of the Wolf packages of all lengths. IF you are asking if you can pull it, yes with that truck. And might not need a WDH or sway bars. The truck is very long, longer then the trailer. That counts for a lot.
 
You didn't tell us anything! What is the truck 1500,2500,3500? What engine? What is the tow capacity? Will you diligently keep the gross weight within its limits? Because you didn't mention any of this I am slow to say you can!
 
Sorry 1500 hemi tow capacity is 7000 and change,more or less wonder about the camper itself
 
By the way, do you know if standard mirrors are ok,or required on a 17 foot?
 
If the alternative would be strap on tow mirrors, that really matters more about the width of the tow vehicle and the trailer than the length. This 17' trailer is a little over to 23' to the back from the tow ball and that's still not that far, especially given these are truck mirrors that area invariably larger than car/SUV mirrors due to the likelyhood the truck will actually be used for towing. It is wide though at 97" so that may prompt the need for something wider, you'll know pretty quickly if it's a need but you didn't mention if you have the factory folding tow mirrors that some Dodge Rams come equipped with. If you have them, I would think you'll be fine, if you don't, you might want a little more to see around the trailer.
 
You need to be able to look at both sides of the trailer. If you can't you need different mirrors.
