What Do You Tow?

[farm boy]

I'm still around. Been focusing on other stuff besides the truck as of lately. Mainly work and expanding my cow operation.
All the talk now days is of the new trucks, so I don't have much to add to those posts...

I'm on the same boat, with you 100%. Don't have much to add to the new truck talk either.
Good seeing some of the original guys like yourself still around here though.

I know its an old post and I hate to say it, but thats not loaded correctly. You've got the truck pulled way too far forward. With that trailer, you keep as much weight as possible on it. Theres no need to have that much pin weight on the truck.

it doesn't really have that much pin weight on it. Probably more than needed but it towed quite well. I only went about 20 miles and was loading in the rain so I just wanted it on the trailer LOL. I normally watch the tow vehicle when loading it and when it starts pushing down on the tow vehicle is where I stop. I loaded it on forward first and the suspension on the 6.0 wasn't happy at all LOL thats why it is backed on. Also I am always open to some constructive criticism LOL

If the truck on the trailer were flipped around I would agree with you, but since it is backed on I would say there's nothing wrong with were it is sitting.
Actually looks like it is sitting quite well compared to some loads I've seen.

What load leveling bags do you have, seem to be holding up pretty well.

I just swapped to a lighter leaf spring pack on my truck, and added bags. I'm hoping I like it.

They're ride rite bags. They really don't have much pressure in them in that pic.

Nothing wrong with backing it on, but if it were 3ft back, all the weight would be on the trailer and it wouldnt squat the truck at all.

You want some weight on the truck tho. Either way... It's a 7k lb truck... Who cares.
