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.

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.

    • Yep! This should be a pin somewhere as @pgamboa really dives into all of this. Thanks for reposting the link!
    • I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.       
    • Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.  
    • I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires. 
    • Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉
