What's the towing capability of these trucks mine is a f250 2wd could it pull a gooseneck with 15k on it with brakes on the trailer?

 

It can tow it but it will be a real load if the trucks stock. How long of trailer? I pull this thing, but not far, just around my area for work. It weighs 22k+ and gross with trailer and pickup at +-34k.



I don't know the laws in your state for hauling either, so can't comment on that.

 

Did your valve body help with towing

 

Ya, I have much firmer shifts now.

 

Damn Darin thats a load. Lulls can be pretty damn heavy. I drive for one of the big rental companys and the skytrack 6036 6ks we haul a bunch of are noticeable even behind my Freightliner

 

26,001 lbs. gross or more= Class A CDL everywhere in the USA.

Just looking at that picture, I think I would scoot the Lull back a couple feet.
Looks like the tounge is a bit heavy as it is in the picture.

 

I'm sure Darin is tired of seeing this but its what I pulled 2,500 miles loaded and 2,500 miles empty. I weighted it a 24K loaded and that one return trip I ran against a 50mph head wind, that was a harder pull then when the trailer was loaded.

 

Nice picture Glenn, look at the nice weather!

 

Back to what your asking, we need to know your gear ratio, cab configuration, auto or standard(i think.) We know your 2WD and guessing your a powerstroke. Now thats knowledge for being "LEGAL"

But these truck can tow more but use common sense when doing so.

 

Good catch Dave, I did have it a little too far ahead compared to normal. And of course, I do have a class A cdl, actually studying to become an instructor for the driving part right now. ( Dad does it now and is getting ready to retire from it.)

 

What is a "Lull" and what does it do, is it like a big fork lift?

I agree! Another question would be how much weight can it stop in a timely manner.

 

We drag around a 16k horse trailer with a 3000 pound slide in camper all the time and it's never hurt anything. Also we've had more than 30k on the flat bed hauling hay before. Just don't expect it to act like a hot rod. We're registered at 38,000 with farm tags and no CDL required even though I have a class A. Different rules in different states.

 

Rog, that's what it is. A big forklift, ours telescopes out to 34 feet high, he's an oldy but a goody, new ones they make up to 60+ feet.

 

When they were new I am almost certain they had a 20k GCVW rating. So that would equate to about a 13k trailer.
