How do you manage with all the weight behind you?

 

I take it extra slow and am very careful!

Izzat a few beads of sweat I see on the brow of that 6-oh???????

 

How much does the front half of a dump truck weigh anyways?

 

I don't get it His new Raptor can't tow a small utility trailer with a fourwheeler on it?
How about using the truck bed?

Nice trucks though

 

Agreed. But it also depends on how many elk you get and how big. Still not a lot of weight but I guess if you might scratch up a truck hunting it might as well be a friend's

 

4 wheeler wouldn't fit in the truck bed... and his raptor needs some work ---
tires had not been rotated so those big meats were cupped and roaring ---
drives me crazy just running around town...

that wide a tire would be not so fun in the ice/snow too (I would guess)
so I (and the many people depending on him) would rather he be safe !
besides it gave me something fun to drive for a few days

 

I've been towing the camper in my signature. GreyWolf 26DBH. It pulls nice but a lot longer than the Jayco 18' it replaced. I use the Prodigy PS3 brake controller. I really like it. This truck has factory disc up front.

 

Truck looks to be in great shape.

 

Love the truck. Wonder if it would pull 33' of 5th wheel.

 

Thanks, guys.

I think a 33ft 5th wheel is a little much for my truck. Maybe if I get to build my dream 445 FE stroker engine.

My camper's total length is 31', the dry weight is 5850lbs. When we load for camping it's close to 6500lbs. The engine is a stock 390, it pulls well but I don't want anymore weight.

 

It would PULL it...just not sure if it would STOP it (in time) !

 

Being perfectly honest here....

If the brakes went out on my 18k trailer while headed down any sizeable hill, the brakes on my truck alone would not be sufficient to stop that trailer in any sort of reasonable distance... They would merely slow the whole mess down so you could maintain some directional control and lessen the impact..

 

That's the truth. Once I forgot to hookup trailer connector and didn't notice the "NC" flashing on my brake controller. I was surprised how well the truck brakes alone stopped the camper but it was nothing compared to how well the trailer brakes work.

 

Here is what I tow...

Getting set up...



And all set up...
