Legal in Idaho and utah for sure. Not in Oregon. I only double tow within 75 miles usually and minimal freeway. Under 65 mph preferred.

Yer throwing a load of work on that machine for sure. You got a gopro? I'd love to see the way it handles the caboose underway.

No go pro, but I can take some pics and a video if I end up not selling the truck. If I can get anything over 30 out of it, I would part with the truck and get a larger truck. We will see, I was supposed to keep this truck a long time and it hasn't even been 2 years. I thought I had changed my ways, but maybe not.

I was on track to pay off the 1/2 ton in 5 years. 18 months later I started paying off a 3500. Loads need the correct truck. It is but our duty to recognize and aquire them. Hehehe.

It would be specifically for towing the trailer and truck duties. Would not be a daily driver. Mustang gt manual would be nice for the daily or something more practical, who knows.

Well picked it up today. Slight hiccup yesterday, but all good to go now.
New hitch with sway control arrives tomorrow. Heading camping Thursday but will not be double towing. No time to have the bumper welded on and run the back wiring.

Now we will see if I keep the truck! May list it and see if I can get what I need to out of it. If so, it will probably be time for a diesel. We will see.
