Here are some of my older towing pics.

 

I dont have the truck or trailers anymore. I had an issue with the trailer and the company bought it back. Traded the dually in on the 6.0 CC 4WD sierra I have now and sold the jeep and goose neck.

the F-350 in my post above has the V-10 6.8L in it. It's a real turd on hills and it averages about 6-6.8mpg pulling the boat. We have about 25000 miles on the truck and 23,000 of them are towing that load.

 

the ford v10 is an awful engine.. no more power then a v8 and god awful gas mileage and from my expirences bad reliability...

 

 

We had a 03 or 04 work truck ford crewcab long bed 2wd with the V-10. We averaged about 3.5 mpg

 

It was the supervisors (we shared it) truck at the steel mill I worked at. The truck was run pretty much 12-16 hrs a day straight hauling people and tools, we idled alot and drove in a harsh environement. It was beat up thats for sure. Went through 2 trans in the 15-20K miles we put on it before getting a new one.

 

I liked our 98 1 ton dually chevy flatbeds those held up much better.

Here's mine. 2-3 Place Snowmobile / Multi use trailer. Very stuck at the beginning of this year!

 

What happened there Khancock, looks a little nasty.

Did you have to use the sleds to help pull you out?

The driveway had several inches of snow on it and I started to slip at the top. When I tried to find some traction and hook around The trailer got caught in the ditch. Had to unload all three sleds, unhook the truck and use a tow strap to the truck to pull the trailer out. Better than last winter when I got stuck at 1am getting in and it was -25F!

I finally found these pictures...... Not my handy work... But I got them in an email a couple years ago...... I was restoring a back file at work and it had a dbx file in it..... Opened up that file toooooo found it....... Notice this guy is from UTAH and not from Mississippi....

 

Pretty handy work thou..... But NO WAY would I have done that.

 

Picture one

First Generation S10 Blazer, with the travel trailer attached up.

 

Picture two

Notice mounting ....... of the Reese Goose neck hitch. Bolt to tailgate with 2 bolts and bolt to body with 2 bolts. Spring for the heavy grade 5/16 chain and 2 S hooks. Also 2 grade 2 bolts, nuts and washers......

 

Picture three notice the 4x4 and 2x4 bracing under the tailgate. It is required to drill 2 hook holes in the tailgate! So it is not a "No Drill Installation".

 

Happy Towing.....
