I got lotsa good advice about truck-trailer options for towing my show tractors which run in the 4000-5000 lb range. My focus was on a 3/4 ton truck--namely an F250 pickup set up to handle an 18-20 ft deck over 14K gooseneck trailer.
I've thought about it further and now think my best bet is a one ton flatbed with that GN trailer. There seem to be plenty of 1T flatbeds of the 1990-99 vintage to choose from locally at the dealers, via craigslist, and in the local classified ads.
I notice that some of these 1T flatbeds trucks sit somewhat higher than the bed of a 1T pickup. Are the standard hitches on GN trailers adjustable so the trailer bed can be leveled regardless of the height of the mating hitch on the tow vehicle? Or is this a special option I need to get?
