The old truck was a 2010 4.7L quad cab 4x4 with the 6spd auto and 3.55 gears and was a gutless slug, averaged 8.x mpg towing get a 3K lb travel trailer at 60 mph
The new truck is a 2014 crew cab ecodiesel 4X4 with the 8spd and 3:55 gears I haven't towed with it yet but research leads me...
Thanks guys, I was more concerned with possible damage to the vehicle. And I later posted that I had just thrown out a number and after actually looking at how much my options weigh they are anywhere from 5 to 7 thousand Pounds.
Honestly I just threw a number out there now that I have actually looking at the weights of trailers I am considering they are averaging 6 to 7 thousand. I do have a weight distributing hitch and the truck is a qcsb 4x4.
I think I'll be fine just to get it home.
How bad is this??
I am looking to buy a considerably bigger travel retailer that weighs about 10,000lbs
My truck is rated to tow about 6,000lbs I will only need the truck to pull it about 100 miles and it will sit till I buy another truck. I may have to move it once a month or so but for...
I have heard about the 3rd brake light from a ton of people but I have yet to notice mine leaking. I have even had it off to replace the bulb and I didn't add any extra sealant.
I have the same motor and gears but my truck is a 2010
I dont know how you can possible say you dont feel it. I recently towed a travel trailer weighing 3220lbs about 9hrs on flat/small hills and the truck struggled to hold 65 and stayed in 4th 99% of the time.
Now as far as being stable the...
In my experience with powder coating (actually doing the coating) surface prep is 90% of the work. Just like paint it needs somthing to grab on to. I would not expect powder coat to stick to our chrome bumpers as well without some roughing up.
The surface also needs to be very clean.
I know alot of people may disagree with me but I have been loyal to Craftsman hand tools and Dewalt power tools and have never had an issue.
Lately I have been doing my fair share of wood working and have grown to prefer skill saws
So it's worse than I thought.
I had the trailer weighed (unhooked trailer on scale and moved truck completely off the scale)because for whatever reason the tax office needed a weight ticket to switch the title.
Well....... it only weighs 3,220lbs. A full 1,300lbs less than I guessed.
So my financial situation has changed drastically since I bought the truck so I will list both situations, first off I have poor credit and a horrible intrested rate.
2014:
The truck was 46% of my yearly income out the door
The payment was 10.9% of my monthly income
2016:
The truck was 34%...
So I am definitly looking to trade my truck as soon as I can.
The trip was about 900 miles from Albuquerque NM, to Austin TX.
The truck has the 4.7L with 6SPD TRANNY (not the 8spd) and 3:55 gears.
I kept tow/haul mode on and set the cruise at 65 the truck struggled the entire time. 99%...
