Finally got some pics of the truck in action. Nothin real crazy but the quads, trailer, gear, and five of us was near 5500 lbs.

Finally did a little bit of a loaded tow with my car trailer.


According to the display on my trailer towing page on the instrument display, I've got almost 1700 miles of towing the trailer. 1200 of that was towing it empty down to Florida from Connecticut, and another 125 towing locally, some of it loaded and some empty.


I loaded the car in over the weekend and drove about 160 miles down to Sebring to run the track Mon/Tues, and got back last night. So, I got a good 320 highway tow.


Loaded up it's about 6000 lbs, and my Sherline tongue weight scale said it was right at 600 lbs tongue weight. It towed GREAT!!

It looks like your truck is squatting more than it should be with 6,000 lbs. My 5,500 lbs trailer isn't near that with my truck.

Are you using WD? KR Kodi doesn't appear to be using WD so all 600lbs of tongue weight are on the hitch (weight carrying).

Here's some pics of my last truck ('06 F-150 XLT Scab) hauling and towing at the same time. That's my Honda Rincon 680 with tracks (about 900+ lbs. loaded with gear) in the bed pulling my buddy's trailer full of green 12' 2"x6" lumber headed out to build bridges on our local snowmobile trails. The other "truck" (I use that term loosely) is my buddy's 3/4 ton GMC. He was hesitant to haul his sled in the back and tow the lumber, so I showed him why I own a FORD. Oh, and yes those are old telephone poles on there too.

My free load of crushed stone for under my deck. The owner of the landscaping supply said my 1/2 ton wouldn't handle being filled up over the wheel wells with stone. He had an irate customer call up blaming him for a broken spring on his Silverado loaded with half that much. I told him I don't own a Silverado, and to fill it up. He said if I make it back in one piece (35 miles away) he'll give me the next load for free. I made three trips that day, and needless to say, he made me pay for the third one. My wife snapped this pic after I unloaded some already, but there's still a pretty good jag on there.
Let me tell you I could feel it on the trips home. Stock suspension, no lift, level, airbags or extra springs.

This is attached to my truck. Re-did part of my driveway with 3/8 lime. Weighed as I left, truck and trailer were 19,800. Oops. Only had to go 4 miles. 3 trips.

It has rained since and it's packed down like cement.
