Am I allowed to ask what your payload rating is on that truck?
You absolutely may ask! But I cant give you an answer cause I don't remember and I'm nowhere near my truck right now haha. I can ensure you its not enough for this load though!
And that's not overloading your pick up? Holy Crap!!! How come I can't get near that on my truck LOL
Tows like a dream The air bag kit we threw together is the secret. Took 4 attempts to get it just right but finally able to pass cars on highway without getting "white nuckled" lol
Nice boat.
Is your truck lowered?
How heavy is the boat?
How far do you pull it?
What kind of mpg?
Size tires?
motor?
rear end?
THX
Thank you ! I'll try to answer everything Boat and trailer is around 9k..
Truck is lowered 3/6 and has custom helper bag kit we fabbed . Truck has brake controller, weight distribution hitch, abs trailer has electric brakes with stability control..
I pull the boat 3hrs to Lake of the Ozarks and less than 10 miles to a local lake. Pulling boat on highway gets 10 mpg . I had the gears changed from 3.15 to 3.73 and found I get best mileage manually shifting and 4-5 gear on highway between 2500-2800 rpm.
I'm running 305-40-22s and have a 3 5 ecoboost with every bolt on you can think of from MPT dyno tune, Full Race intercooler, stainless works down pipes, custom center exhaust, stage 2 intake , etc....
And lots of other fabricated parts from M3 BMW hood graft, hand made grill, etc...
A while back in this thread I posted a pic of this sailboat shoved in the bed of my truck. I now have a Adarac rack set. Much better. Very happy with these racks. I like how the lower rails stay on the bed sides. Makes great tie downs.
Started downsizing to a larger house several days ago. The old house is a 2 story, the newer house is a ranch style 2.5 miles south. First area to be moved was the garage and all of the various tools and parts. Got a few pictures right at the beginning - more pics have lost their immediate priority as after 2 days the garage is empty. Third day has got the old basement about 1/3 empty. Many more loads before this job is done.
