It'll pull it...doesn't say how well.
Oddly enough both the trailer & Blazer had 20 day plates -brand new !!!
Diamondpilot said:That has less to do with the truck but more with the trailer, weight dist., and the loading technique. It would put any truck on the ground if loaded improperly. The guy I sold my last boat to had his 3/4 ton Suburban on the ground the same way. He headed out on a 100 mile trip home. He said he would never do that again in a follow up call. He could not figure it out, he said he pulled way more than that with that truck before. When I asked him what he had been pulling he said a backhoe on trailer. The difference was he could put the backhoe where he wanted on the trailer. With the boat you are stuck with whats there for the most part.

I'd have to disagree there. They do assemble the trucks here, but the bulk of the parts are still shipped here in crates from overseas. Most of the domestic trucks have parts and most assembly here in the USA.Diamondpilot said:I agree totally. I am just saying its a 1 ton versus a 1/2 ton. I was not a big fan of the Japanese trucks till I tried them. I wish they would get into the 3/4 and 1 ton market with a top notch diesel. It would be interesting. The major hurdle is to get people to change the mind set of these trucks. They are American made now days, more than some of the Big 3. They put lost of people to work here in Indiana with Honda, Toyota, Subaru, and others having plants within 2 hours of my home. Not to mention all the support that these plants need like hotels, restaurants, ect. All the Ford, GM, and Dodge plants are closing the doors and running over seas.
