dont Know if would be handy to mount electric winch But it sure nice for us to drag them in our enclosed trailer when short on room at loading door or any other pucker factor incidents.

I have that thought enter my mind a few times. They don't cost all that much for a little one. I still may do that.

How many times did she overheat with that tow job?

When I'm towing, this is usually following me.

Ferguson65, I think you should check your tongue weight. Looks to me like the back end of that truck is WAAAAY lower than the front.

Actually looks like I should raise the pintle a bit. It's only got a 2" ball so about all it gets used for is the splitter. But it's still set from my Dodge that sat at least 4" higher in the back.

It will cost you about $1000 to keep me quiet in front of your better half to tell her she could have twice the trailer behind that truck !!!!

Nice looking combo. We had a trailer very similar to that one.

Hey Tony - that's pretty cool!!! I was trying to think of a way to carry my SXS on a trailer inside my Toy Hauler too!

Thanks. It works out pretty good. I have a 1700lbs Warn winch to pull it in and let it out. 2 chains in the back to locate and straps in the front to pull it tight.

Here's a typical load for me. Traded that F350 for an F450 this past weekend.

Yeah, We traded our F150 STX for Big Blue. That was a real good truck but the 4.6L struggled with that camper. The V10 doesn't seem to have a problem with it though. We hope to upgrade the camper at some point in the future.
