Narrowing down my search - DK65C

RedDog · Sep 8, 2004

I was thinking maybe a Toyota, or the new Honda truck that will be coming out. I think either one will handle my gooseneck trailer. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I'm going to sell my trailer also. It would be good for your dealership, but then you would have to invest in another "man size" truck to pull it!!!! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I need to stop down sometime to BS with ya. I saw ya a couple of Saturday's ago when I was in my Suburban, near Logan.

Are both of those companies building something heavy duty enough to pull that weight? I would sure love to have a Toyota, but I thought they wouldn't be able to carry a big trailer and a heavy tractor/equipment. I plan on adding a DK45C to my CK20 and will need something large enough to pull the DK with attachments. Thanks, John

Hey, I'd love to use a smaller Tayoti (that's how my farmer neighbors pronounce it) pickup to pull my trailer too! It sure would save on fuel!! With the loader and rear implement on my tractor, my total weight with my trailer weight included is about 14000 pounds. I've seen their commercials. One of those Tayoti's ought to be able to pull it just fine! Heck, I think I heard that they are going to begin haveing a 5th wheel hitch installed at the factory. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

The way Toyota came out with a larger truck, I thought maybe they were introducing an even larger one, and that would be fine with me as my Toyota car hasn't had one problem in 5 years since new. I can't say that about any other vehicle I've ever bought. John

I'm in the business to have hundreds of thousands of actuarial numbers available on all sorts of vehicle breakdowns for one of my companies. Honda and Toyota (and their derivatives Acura and Lexus) statistically are the most reliable brands made. Simply the facts. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif Other brands are improving, but those two simply are the most reliable. Due to the availability of repair statistics to me, I also have chosen my tractors and other major purchases based upon statistics. I find that there are always exceptions to the rule, but they are just that; exceptions. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
