what are you hauling?

So, after owning my new truck since December i finally got to use it for why i bought it. It's unbelievable how nice this thing pulls.

I'm not sure what the Scout and trailer wieghs. My old 2000 7.3 pulled it OK but you could feel it for sure. This truck pulls the same load effortlessly and gets about four MPG's better than the 7.3.
I know this isn't a lot compared to some of you guys but it's a big deal to me and i could not be happier with the new truck.

If you have pics lets see what you're hauling.
here's mine.

I mainly just haul my boat...bout 6k lbs...not alot but it makes a big difference to have an animal like this in the mountains. Last weekend I put a pallet of pavestones in the bed (3300lbs) and your right...I hardly can feel anything I have hooked up to or hauled with this truck compared to my 06 psd.

Keystone Everest 322R 35ft 5th Wheel. 12,500 Gross about 11,500 as currently equipped. The truck knows its back there but doesn't care and accelerates like a cheetah after a gazelle.

2007 Keystone Montana 3400RL 5th-wheel, 38 feet, 12,800lbs as loaded, with a 15,500lbs GVWR. But haven't towed yet as the truck is only a week old and only has 300 miles so far. Just got the hitch installed on Thursday. Hope to hitch up next weekend and try it out. Love the truck so far.

I mostly haul by butt to work . On most weekends though, I am either hauling the 35' fiver in my signature (about 11k) or my 16' steel enclosed vending trailer (about 7.5k fully loaded up with merchandise, genny, AC, etc). The truck pulls either of them like a dream.

Just upgraded from a 32' TT to a 37' triple-slide 5er. The truck STILL just thinks it's play time.

I tow an 8.5 x 24' enclosed car hauler. Use it for a variety of things, but times are changing and I may be selling it in the future.

Everyone knows what I demand from my truck. I expect a lot and I get even more. This is a bit of a rerun but here's some reminders:

We full-time in a 36 ft Mobile Suite 5th wheel weighing in at 18000 lbs, with a 4050 pin weight. We tow the Harley behind weighing in around 1200 lbs with the trailer. Dodge pulled it fine now however I have to worry about speeding tickets....gotta love it....

Sounds like I'm the light-weight of the group. My TT weighs in at just under 9000 lbs loaded. Awesome truck-pulls like a dream!

24' Desert Fox Toy hauler. Usually have four motorcycles with me. I still use a WDH with anti-sway (Reese SC) just because I feel safer with it.
