    New trailer

    CAT scale will be your best friend here. Only about $13 for the first weigh then like $3 for the next one if at the same scale within 24 hour or something like that. So for $15-20 you can get it perfect. Trailer length also has a big impact on handling. 6 extra feet of 'sail' will make a...

    Can the 2500 pucks be adapted to the 1500?

    That's what happened with my step-father. He didn't know alot but he always bought a 1500 hemi with 3.92s and tow package. At the time I think his max tow was 10,200. Not sure what his 5th wheel weighed but the sales guy at the RV dealership told him it was fine. If I had to guess I'd say the...

    Can the 2500 pucks be adapted to the 1500?

    Step-father bought a brand new 5th wheel in 2012 and towed it with his 2011 and later his 2014 1500s with 3.92s. Towed it maybe 5x and sold it cause it was too stressful. White knuckle driving the whole time. On paper the truck looked like it was ok but he was way over on GRAWR and payload

    Towing Question

    If you are towing any trailer at 85 MPH you are just as dangerous as the ones towing overweight...especially with a 1/2 ton

    Towing Question

    You may not be able to get to max towing without exceeding other numbers first, mainly GRAWR. Look at the sticker in your drivers door. Guessing your GRAWR is about 3900lbs. I had a 2013 1500 with 3.55s and it had the 5 speed auto trans. My max towing was 8600lbs. To figure it out you need to...

    Truck got broken into!

    A few weeks ago my step-sons truck was side-swiped hit and run. He had it parked in front of his house. He has a 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 with Fuel wheels and had just bought brand new Toyo tires. The tires/wheels stick out about 2" on each side. Luckily they only caught his mirror and drivers front...

    2500 or 3500 for 5th Wheel Retirement Towing

    Yeah I towed that same TT with my 2013 1500 with 3.55s. TT was brand new and empty so probably 500-1000lbs lighter and I got 6.5 MPG compared to the 8.5 I got with my 2500 6.4. Me and my son had identical trucks. I towed the TT once with my truck then he towed it a bunch with his. But point is...

    2500 or 3500 for 5th Wheel Retirement Towing

    The other thing I can add is to check fuel prices where you will be traveling. I heard a few on here saying diesel was cheaper where they are. At one point around here diesel was over $1 more per gallon. According to gasbuddy today 4.49 while regular is 3.68 so not a huge spread at todays prices.

    2500 or 3500 for 5th Wheel Retirement Towing

    Can't argue the gas vs diesel thing as I don't have enough experience with diesels but my son (and me) had/have 2018 2500's with 6.4's and 4.10's. He towed an 8100lb TT and average 8.5 MPG over 9500 miles towing all over the country. He then bought a 2021 2500 Cummins and towing the same trailer...

    tow recommendations

    I towed a 2020 Grand Design Imagine 3250BH with my 2018 2500 6.4 with 4.10's. Trailer was empty as it was brand new off the lot but I was good on all numbers. CAT scale showed 1100lbs tongue weight when at about 12.5% TW. My payload is 2973lbs so had plenty of room. TT weighed 9300lbs empty...

    Low Mile 2002 Camaro Z28

    Funny story about the Keystones. My first car was a 1972 Cutlass S. A few years later I knew I wanted another one and wanted Keystone Classics. Went to the local speed shop and bought brands new Keystones and tires but still didn't have a car. The owner had asked me what kind of car and what...

    Low Mile 2002 Camaro Z28

    Yeah it was around 2013 when Stefano called me. He called my home phone and it came up Nickey Chicago. At the time it didn't register in my head that it was Nickey Chevrolet until I called him back and he told me. But for sure it was either 2012, 2013 or possibly 2014 but pretty sure it was 2013...
