Your towing rigs and trailers

[GreatWhitehunter]

Beauty of a truck, disappointing engine. I can't understand for the life of me why folks buy a HD truck for driving around. I know it isn't for the ride quality.
If it weren't for the diesel in my SD I surely wouldn't have the truck.(maybe with a v10 if gas wasn't so much) Anyways best of luck with it.

what brand trailer and how long is it? Where in Ct did you buy this?

 

[mdc2544]

The trailer was a rental from United. I think I must receive frequent flyer miles by now. I think it was 16' but not sure. The one they reserved for me (10') was too short so I took the "bigger" one to pick up the new addition to the family. Didn't measure it since I knew it was more than adequate. Great tilt feature on this one.

Tractor was purchaseed in lower FC. They were surprisely aggressive and had to get it from another dealer. Much better than one further up north which surprised me.

From the picture you posted, that trailer looked a lot longer than 16. I have a Bri-Mar 1812 and it is now way too short. I will be looking for another, I would like another Br-mar, but their longest is now only 20 ft, and this is still too short, I want to stay with bumper pull.

Larry - you're probably right. The tractor and FEL measure 12 feet and it looks like there is more than 4' of length to spare. Call United Rentals in Stamford and ask for the brand and length of their brand new tilt traler.

i really like your truck. although a Chevy man, i do like the looks of the F-250's such as yours. have to admit, if I happene to stumble on a Ford dealership and was quoted a good price on one such as this I just MIGHT have to take the plunge.
