The only reason I bought mine was for pulling.

Pulls great too.

Basically anything I want. Usually just a 18 ft car hauler with a car or pickup on it. But I do pull an occasional cattle trailer, and have even pulled a 10x18 mini-barn before.

Oh Yeah, and the sled at the county tractor pulls every year.

Besides moving loaded 45 ft trailer's.
I helped a trucker one time, he needed to be pulled 4 miles to the next town, so I hooked him up and pulled the truck & trailer.
After he said:" What the hell engine do you have in that truck?"

429 there buddy !



: ) I pull this.

You will notice I painted it to match the truck.

I tow a 16' Starcraft trailer boat with a 30 horse engine. The boat was built in 1961, but still runs great. I've towed it more than 2000 miles with my V8 Explorer. You can't even tell you're towing something!

I tow a small 10' landscaping trailer in the summer. I'm trading that in for a 16' enclosed landscaping trailer mid-next year though

Also planning on a 38' 5er in the near future as well.
