Just thought I'd start a new thread of our generation trucks towing so no further do... (sorry if this thread already exists)

Had 10 bags of rock+10 bags of mulch in the bed

Tow a 16 ft aluminum stock trailer on regular basis. In the second pic had 1 ton of manure on a 20 ft trailer. Third pic was my buddies 04 2wd ranger on a 18ft trailer.

A 24' travel trailer I pull all summer. And yes I do take it to the mountains and never a problem

Just picked this up today

I pull a little bit with my truck. My truck was squatting with the horse trailer because it was a drop hitch flipped for a shorter vehicle and I had to use that hitch and the one with the bails I over loaded the trailer with 82 bails

Here are some loads I've hauled. Lightest, to Heaviest.
Disclaimer: I don't recommend loading your truck down this much.

4000lbs of portland cement + trailer = 5K



162-40lb bags of rock +1000lb trailer= 7480lbs


A little over 3.5 ton of rocks. about 1.5 in bed and 2 in the trailer.



My sister broke down in her2012 Chevy Traverse LTZ (6,411 empty) in Gatlinburg, so I had to go tow that POS back 190 miles to VA. Had 5 people in the truck with luggage + 1000lb trailer. So around 9000lbs +. Got about 8mpg though.


Pulling a random F450 boom truck we found in a 2ft ditch. Lol the door was open so my friend threw it in neutral and we gave it hell. This was during the snow storm.


Attempting to get a 70,000lb loaded semi, off the guardrail, in a ditch, in a snow storm. We almost get him at 1:19 seconds.

I think I come close to ibd, wish I would've taken a picture of the last load I had, 3 pallets of Bermuda sod. I'm guessing had to be in the 7k range with the trailer. This is the only picture I have with a good amount of weight on the trailer. Its a merry go round with the concrete base about 5'x5'x5'. Might be able to get a good towing picture tomorrow

Haha thats with an extra leaf too. I didn't have trailer brakes on the rock load, so I could def. notice stopping power wasn't all there. Could really use a brake upgrade for some of the stuff I do.

Thanks man, it does all the work I need too. Its mainly a work truck, has quite a few blemishes, but after 10 years of use that is expected.

My entire family has chevy's so I'm use to towing them home. The 5.4 is perfect for my needs .
