Your towing rigs and trailers

[GreatWhitehunter]

TLM, nice pics, is the trailer 20+5? The trailers bit over kill as far as gvw for the truck isn't it? I really like the whole set up though. I'm considering a 110 myself.

Builder,
I missed your post earlier, yes the manual mode is awesome! It is one of the reasons Ford will not get me back for awhile, (I have had 2 6.0 and the constant 4/5 shift drove me nuts) The trailer is a Pro trac 23 + 5 20k, exceeds the truck GVW by a small amount. I know it is not the most popular opinion on most of these boards, but here goes: I am positivily aware of the weights and measures of all of my equipment and each pieces respective capasities, however, I am also willing to play in what I consider the gray area. Great looking rigs fellows. I love the gear.
Where is the spell check?

Matt,
The 110 is great in my opinion! The few things I would change are small; create on board storage for the 3 pt. assembly, make the roof easier to remove, (I move a fair amount of snow with the machine and it gets loud, skid plates should be standard as well as a draw bar.

I noticed you are pretty new around here. Welcome to the website. Great to have another GM truck owner around!!

I love the way you can toggle shift your gear to exactly where you want, too. Miy GMC rarely hunts for gears like my Fords did, so I don't use it everyday, but when I get the trailer hooked up, it's great....almost like having a manual trans once the TC is locked up!

Now that's a load.

not a recommended weight but your able to get away with alot when your doing ag stuff....my truck has the 496 with alli....it pulls it very well considering everything it's not a diesel but awesome for being a gas....it easily keeps up with traffic if towing less than 15K (not with the 24K in pic....I drive slow with real weight)...very pleased with it.

Truck looks stable. Rear end doesn't look overwhelmed by that load. I had previous trucks that squatted more with 1/2 that weight.

Are you obsessed with rear end squat?
