Recommended Posts

Heaviest thing I've ever pulled was a bobcat skidsteer type thing with forks and a bucket attachment. But, I have no pics. trailer plus bobcat probably weighed 11,000 lbs. I only pulled it about five miles to another work site.

I see guys come in and pick up or drop off cars and trucks pulling a three car carrier trailer with 1500s, 2500s, 3500 duallys etc. Some gas, some diesel. One guy had a GMT900 1500 extended cab, 6 ft bed, 4 wheel drive Silverado JUST like mine, except his was the pewter and mine is the sheer silver. He was pulling a THREE CAR trailer! He had a 5.3, and I think it was just the 4 speed tranny. Said he had the HD towing package(ovbiously). He said he traded down from a 6.0L 1500HD. Said the newer truck was VERY nice, and felt as good as his old truck, but more comfortable. Said it pulled fine, no complaints. He was an older guy though, and said hes usually only pulling 1-2 cars at a time, but has pulled three before. He came up to the Baltimore/DC area from NC pulling one, and left pulling 3, going back to NC. Said he was thinking about trading up to a 6.2L gas when it came out, just wasn't a big fan of diesel for some reason. Said the 5.3 was fine, but the truck was getting higher in miles, and thought he would try the bigger motor. I think secretly he wanted more power, but he played with the truck a little bit when he left messing around with me, and she still had some get up and go with 3 cars behind her.

 

Next time I see a 1/2 ton pulling a few cars, or a dually with a larger trailer, I'll try and take a quick pic. Usually they are sleeper 18 wheelers, or 450-650 Fords. GM 4500 once in awhile.

This is far from the motherload as it is only 5 bales but i figured i would throw something up since no one else has. As you can see i even let the old lady drive it. I will have to take some pictures next time im pullin the skid loader.

My little freight train. My swag is that this is about 19k GCWR with the 4 cycles on the little trailer and the 5W ready to dry camp. Well under the capabilities (GAWR, GVWR, GCWR, etc) of the truck and legal (at 63' tip to tail, below the 65' Mich. law) with the right license endorcement in Mich.

 

Not the mutha load by any stretch, but I wouldn't do it with a half-ton!!! :sigh:
