I towed our TT for the first time with the new 3/4 this weekend. I have to say on interstate and two lane the bigger truck does so much better. The big three push the half ton esp with the max tow

The truck I just got rid of but the trailer I bought last spring.

 

Nice. Let us know how the new truck compares when towing.

Not what was meant by this thread but I had to whore a pic. This happened when I was driving tow truck a few years ago.

 

Thought it was funny so I snapped a pic with my cell.

This is a crappy pic of my old truck(for sale BTW. :thumbs: ) pulling my old Subaru heading for Norwalk OH. for drag racing.

I know this thread is in a 1500 forum, but.....

 

2003 GMC Sierra 2500HD CCSB D/A, Keystone Laredo 5W with a 5x8 cycle trailer tagged to the back. XR650R, CRF230F, CRF80F and CRF70F on the trailer.

Just shy of 63' tip to tail (2' short of max length for Mich req'ts for 'recreatational double' towing, so my rig has some room to grow when my kids and their cycles do). My little freight train....

 

When weighing options, I decided that this set-up was lighter than a 5W toy hauler, cheaper than a toy hauler, more interior 'living' space than a toy hauler, but.....it doesn't back up as easily as a 5w toy hauler!

 

You thought little trailers were a PITA behind a truck....try a little trailer that you can't see very well tagged to the back of something with 12' of overhang! (I do have a home-brew back-up camera system on the 5W that feeds my laptop in the truck semi-wirelessly, so that helps a little.)

haha wow i never though anyone could do that.. is that legal

 

Legal in Michigan with a 'recreational double' driver's license endorcement and there are rules for how things are hooked up (safety chain requirements) and weights of trailers and here, the trailer attached to the truck must be a 5W. Doing this is legal in other states, too (and at longer overall lengths!) but I don't know all the requirements elsewhere....I've never run this set-up outside Michigan.

I know it's a ford pulling the boat guys but I didn't have a picture of my truck pulling the 2 rhino, 18' trailer, and my sportman touring in the back of the truck. I'll have to post it later.

This is what I pull daily at work.

      The Peckish Synapse

      Well that book won't sell many copies. Taking ones right foot off the loud pedal never gets applause. Funny really, It isn't that people don't know what to do...they just don't want to do it. But they will complain about it. About bad craftsmanship, about the cost of fuel, about the cost of part and repairs and mainly they complain that the solution while still possible isn't one they are willing to do.    I observe this daily. 'Gas cost to much!", they wail, while they mat it passing at 80+ mpg and scoot down the road like gas cost a dime a gallon. Then complain about the few that will lift and save both fuel and iron like they are owed and own the road.    Good thing they haven't an ounce of influence on my equipment. The rest I just laugh at. Stupid is as stupid does, right Forest?

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Today I filled up with 4.899 gallons of fuel at a cost of $4.899 a gallon. $24 bucks. 290 miles. 59.2 mpg. After my 4% COSTCO discount just under eight cents a mile.

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.
