Post your towing and hauling pictures here! (part 2)

[JEstes]

Not really that heavy, but it's the biggest thing I've got a picture of.

 

[Grizzly]

Uh Oh, It looks like it doesn't fit.

It doesn't. I'll be taking the roof apart and rising it 18" soon.

Pulling Doubles a few years back

Here is a pic from a few years back. That is a 24' on front and a 22' on back. Over 80' total length. This was one of the longer runs. Pulled many a loads like this, mostly in the winter on snow and ice. Pulled new trailers back from KS to ND. Had lights and brakes in both trailers.

Wow! How did your truck feel pulling the heavy one? How fast were you able to go? Do you mean the trailer axles weighed 25,260lbs w/o or with the pin weight? Thanks!

TFlewitt

Sorry for the delay. The truck felt a little heavy as I remember I stayed in 5th gear doing 55mph

25,260lbs was the weight of the container,

The weights were 4640lbs trk front axle

11,000lbs trk rear axel

23,620lbs trailer axels

Total GCW 39,260lbs

How'd you hook up the 2 nd one? Used to seeing dollies under them.

 

[JJW_ND]

Doubles connection....

I ahve seen dollies also. We used a home built "A" frame that bolted to the floor of the front trailer. Had to reomve the rear door/gate and lay inside of front trailer. "A" fram stuck out about 4'. Had ball on top that was same height as our pickup bed ball. Ran a second cord from pickup through front trailer to provide hookup for lights/brakes. Had double trailer connectors in pickup.



This hitch, spare trailer tire and other junk would easily fit in back of truck when bobtailing down. Could also be manhandle by one person.



This setup was very stable and pulled well even on ice roads. You always wanted the front trailer to be heavier and longer or you got a very rough ride.

Hauling hay, with the 1992 2wd - keeping the old truck working. This load plus the truck scaled out at 16,200 lbs. The deck of the trailer is 30', each bale ended up weighing 1500lbs. The 1st gen 2wd is so light that hauling much more than this outweighs the truck by too much (at least for my taste!) - sure pulls it nice though.



Works good to turn that last bale lengthwise - ties in easier and holds the rest. The rest of the bales just sit there between the rails of the trailer.

Trailer weight is somewhere around 8k... but as you can see I am hauling the whole side of a small cliff :-laf



Visually stimulating - RIGHT!!:-laf

[Trailduster79]

First real load since I bought it 3 months ago.



The Trailduster weighs 6600 pounds, trailer about 2K, so I figured with the additional crap in the trailduster it was about 9K behind the truck, and about 1K in the bed and cab since there was firewood around the 4-wheeler and camping gear in the cab with 2 people in it.



Completely stock and it got 12. 5mpg, with about half of the trip in the mountains.

USMC,



You are just tooo much. Keep up the good work. Hauling loads like that I am sure is putting to good use the Cummins.
