Finally got the Boss out with the TT

Laurel and I drove to Laurel, OR this afternoon after stopping at the FREE RV dump station.
Truck works really well. Laurel could tell the difference in the ride and handling and made a few comments about it.
The truck is 20 feet long, 2/3rds of the trailer length and it weighs more than the trailer!!

glad you got it out. We are going camping on the 11th of Feb barring a snow storm or something. Nice to exercise the truck.

We are just going along the coast, north of Baltimore. Aberdeen, MD.

Nothing special.

Thats good. Thats only about 25-30 mins from me. I was thinking about going down to Elk Neck State Park in North East, Md. Close to home, right on the chesapeake bay and they have a loop of sites open year round. Itching to get out, its been to cold and snowy here.

Nice looking TT! And I love the color of your truck as well! Good Luck. I just bought my truck and have not had an opportunity to tow my new TT yet. However, I am getting that itch real bad. And my TT is still at the dealer waiting for a new door for the outdor kitchen.

Is that a slide out bike carrier under the rear bumper of the TT?
Out of curiosity, are you using rear air bags? You are nice and level. As it should be!

Thanks all!
I only have 1200 miles on it.

"Is that a slide out bike carrier under the rear bumper of the TT?"
Nope. It's the framework for the stabilizers. There is another one toward the front.

"...are you using rear air bags?"
Nope. I have the WDH all hooked up.
I ordered the truck to avoid any potential issues with loading.

From the picture it looked like the carrier.

I was just curious about the airbags because I just bought my truck and have yet to tow with it. My TT tongue weight listed is 795 lb. Not sure what it is loaded with the bed loaded with gear. Looks as if it squats nicely!
And it looks from the picture that you are using the Reese Straight Line with sway cams or some variation of that WD Hitch. I have the same one if it is that particular one.

Good Luck with the TT and the ride! Looks Great!
