Can't get out in the beginning of October cause of my schedule and I want to put a few miles on before towing. Maybe one trip at the end of October.

Took a while but here's my setup. The EB is overkill for this size trailer but when I put my foot down it does move out.

Well my unit has been parked for extended periods at the family cottage so pics towing are hard to come by.

Here we have a picture of my final time towing this TT. We just sold it and this is hooked up at the cottage ready to drop off to the new owner. We are lucky to live next to and camp at the greatest Great Lake.

Now we are on the hunt for a new to us TT. I would like a 5ver myself. It would be a good excuse to get a Superduty

2004 Screw FX4 console shift
Leaving the fleet is a 2006 Salem LE BHSS27

I had a 30ft 5er and pulled a jet ski behind it and the 150 did great on the flat land, I upgraded to a 350 so now I can get a bigger camper, bigger boat, and head to the mountains! actually I think I'm heading to Vegas and Arizona and California this winter. Didn't want to take the 150 over the mountains. I'm sure it would do it, but now I won't have to slow down going up the grades. I was a bit over payload for the pin weight but I want worried about it. However I'm by myself, you add a wife and kids and all their stuff and you quickly add 400 more pounds depending. You can get lighter 5ers and base model 150s that have more payload but I had a fully loaded lariat so I had about the lowest payload you can get. All depends on what you want but I'm loving the 6.7 diesel 350 Platinum. I've wanted one for a while but they are somewhat pricey.

Damn Beautiful truck. And yes, if you go diesel, go 350.
See you've got 18.9mpg on the display. Is that typical non-towing?

Maybe if I mortgaged the house ...
