Your towing rigs and trailers

[KenB2920]

took this trailer over the smaller BP, hooping the tractor would lift the logs onto it, but it didn't <img src="http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=466424"/>

Nice trailer. What is each axle rating and what is the actual weight of the trailer ? Heck, while in at it, how long is the deck ?

14K GVWR two 7K axles. tag says the trailer weighs 4800. i think it fairly close weight wise, but i have never weighed it empty. 22 ft deck 5 ft dovetail

Great trailer!

So does this mean it's 27' useable deck? For instance can you drive down the road with the ramps "up" instead of laying on the dovetail?

Bought my first new truck yesterday!



Here's a link to my TBN-assisted thought process: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/trailers-transportation/356554-questions-2016-f250.html

I replaced a 2003 F250 with frame rot .

This is a 2016 F250 XLT, 4x4, Crewcab, shortbed, SRW. Had to search to find one with the bigger 4.30 electronic locking rear axle.

Rated for 12.5k at the bumper and 15.1k with Goose or 5th wheel.

It has adjustable pedals, backup assist, snow plow prep pkg, and the XLT value pkg. I put new BFG KO2 A/T 18" tires on it. Line-x basic bedliner, B&W turnover Gooseneck hitch, and line-x'ed 3 hoop-step rails are going on in a couple weeks.

I want a wireless magnet backup camera for bumper-pull hook-ups if anyone has a recommendation.

Haven't towed with it yet. Probably next weekend.



The built-in trailer break controller (with computer managed sway control) can be pre-programmed/customized for each trailer. It even keeps track of miles for each trailer (handy for trailer maintenance I think).


Truck technology has come a long way since 2003.

What engine?

 

[Luke'sScreenName]

6.2L.
Don't put on enough miles to justify diesel.

Looking at your truck makes me laugh at mine. I love my truck and it's been very dependable. It's a 2009 gmc 2500hd SLT2 loaded !!! (This was the year before the Denali.). My loaded truck in 2009 is probably comparable to a base line truck today ....

Sweet truck!!!
