Well I jumped in with both feet and headed down the road with my 31 foot travel trailer and a small utility trailer in tow. The small trailer had a golf cart on it. I took it easy on the Interstate on the way at 60-65 mph and it pulled better than the last time I pulled just the travel trailer.

The 6.0 had no problem with the big load and summer temps in the mid 90's. The coolant temp was around 205 unless pulling up a long hill, then it reached 220. The fan always kept the temps reasonable. The transmission stayed around 170.

I'm very pleased with the performance of my 6.0 with no tuner!

NICE! I like.

 

Right on!! Glad to hear it towed ok.

Where'd ya go?? Did Leo ever look twice? (tandem trailers only legal if 1rst trailer is 5ver/GN and total length under 65ft)

 

SWEEEET!! Rock on, Brother! That's awesome.....

 

We went from Newnan, GA to Tallassee AL (Monster Mountain MX) down I85. It's only about 120 miles each way. I only passed one Leo on I85 and he was busy having a chat with a speeder on the roadside.

I suspect the whole rig was 65ish feet .....I think in Ga it's not 'proper' to tandem pull, but it is in Bama. Anything goes in Bama.......

I doubt I will do it again anytime soon, I just really needed the golf cart for my wife to get around from the camper to my race pits by the track. It's actually a major pain with two trailers. No backing up and you have to plan every stop because of the length.

A friend hauled my bikes to the race so my next project is a front mount hitch on the Ex and a rear camper bike rack. I like to take several bikes so that I have back-ups.

 

Are those bicycles or motorcycles?

 

Best how do those Nitto's work out? being that they're not E-rated and only a p-metric tire, i understand its an extra-load rating but you could go with the Nitto Dura-grappler in a 305/55R20 to maintain a highway style tread pattern

 

Motorcycles, I race vintage motocross. '75 Honda CR125 and '76 Yamaha YZ125X for this race. Next race prolly also take '82 CR480r.

The tires seem to be okay. I have been pleased so far with them. Next tire change I'll prob go with a higher load rating like the ones you mentioned. I think these may flex a little too much in the sidewalls with a heavy load, so I keep them at the max pressure.

 

Nice......Im a vet mx'er myself. Its a sickness. I'd like to give the vintage thing a try sometime.
