truck

I am helping a friend get his travel trailer set up for towing. I told him the 1st that is to get it weighed. But how to do it? Truck is a 2020 GMC long bed Travel trailer is 17' single axle. 1. Take the truck loaded as if camping and way it by itself? 2. Go a second time with truck and...

I, like many folks who have joined this sight grew up watching big rigs on the highway, fascinated by them. Having watched movies like Convoy, Hijack and of course Duel, I always wanted my own rig. Watching how the industry has treated drivers over the years tho kept me from wanting that as a...

So I bought a 2019 ram1500 (v6) last summer with the thought of maybe buying a travel trailer at some point. I knew we would have to have a somewhat light trailer with that truck. Bought a rockwood mini light 2509s in October of 2019. 5130 dry weight. Only took it out once last year and now have...

First trip today for the , new to us, 2015 Ford F250 crew cab, with 44K miles we bought on Monday. I have now towed with a 3/4 ton Dodge, Chevy, and Ford. Ford is by far the most stable. As for throttle response and power, Ford is a.little better than the other two. With the Hensley Hitch and...

We have 4 young children (all in carseats or booster seats). We need a vehicle that will comfortably hold our family and safely tow a Roo 233s. Debating the pros and cons of a 6 passenger truck vs. an SUV. Which would you choose and why? Specific makes/models? Thanks!

I have a set of Tie Down Mounts for a Nissan Titan. The camper is sold so I have no use for them. I would rather they went to a good home so make me a low offer!

Good morning everyone. I have purchased a 2014 International Prostar to pull my Cyclone toy hauler. I am using a RV 5th wheel plate bolted to the frame for my hitch. I would like to build a bed for carrying my golf cart and other things, but I am having trouble coming up with plans for the...

I have seen several posts on here about people getting help with their tow truck numbers. I hope that someone can help with my confusion. My truck is a 2015 1500 Silverado LTZ with a 6.2L, 8sp, integrated brake controller, tow haul mode and max trailering package. These are the numbers from...

Hi guys, Next week I am picking up a new truck to replace my current tow vehicle. What do I need to do to make sure the setup is correct? I had it done when I bought my TT but not sure if it is specific to that truck.

I have become very concerned regarding my bike rack mounted on the rear bumper of our 25 ft. Mini Lite. I know it can be an issue regarding weight and stress. I have been considering a front mounted receiver on my 2017 RAM 1500 to connect the bike rack onto. Has anyone had any experience with...

When we got our 5th wheel, the setup guy took the bed rails off my truck and said I should haul a few times, different scenarios before I reinstall them just in case I get into a situation where they might hit the bottom of the unit. Has anyone ever experienced that? Do you run bed rails with...

Something to keep us busy while sitting around. Do you ever listen to the "no truck" signs posted around? I live in a rural area (for NJ) that has a lot of narrow roads, no shoulders, poorly maintained,..... For 15+ years I've been driving down the same county road to work. There is one section...

I parked my 2500HD in the parking lot at our apartment here in TX. On one side was a Tundra, the other side an F-250 and 2 spots away a Ram 1500. All looked fairly new. I noticed that they looked to be the same size as my 3/4 ton truck. I did some checkin' and sure enough, these new 1/2 tons...

So for everyone that doesn't have an awesome truck bed to store various odds and ends, where is everyone storing their external portable waste tanks? I have a 2010 Shamrock 183, and would absolutely love NOT to store the waste tank inside the SUV or inside the RV. Ideas are greatly appreciated!

I pulled thru the Loves in Rolla, MO today. There was an attendant constantly going from pump to pump as people pulled thru sanitizing. He had a bleach spray bottle and wiped down pumps, windshield washer handles, paper dispensers, and was doing a very thorough job. I should have tipped...

31 BHSS Salem. My camper is in a private park and never gets moved. I bought it where it sits. The tongue faces a small downward hill, no way to get my truck to hook up to trailer. I need to move it maybe 3 feet to square it up to a concrete drive. I am going to have a "car port" built over it...

So I was doing some reading that said a little sag in the back is actually desirable. I went out and measured with my rig hooked up. Here's what I've got going on: Unloaded (no TT): Front = 38", Rear = 38.5" Loaded (TT) with WDH: Front = 38.25", Rear = 37.5" Is that good? Or should I go up a...

SOLD

UPDATE #1: Truck has already been sold. UPDATE #2: Different truck has been purchased. A very nice truck popped up this morning on my radar. Fits all my needs and wants. I saw the price and got excited. Then I saw the Carfax with a reported accident. Now I know why the price is $10k below...

Here I go again with the research but the on-going discussion is really helpful and might be to others. So I want a full size pick up (work truck) and an FWC shell model. But realistically, I will be using it 90% city driving, 20% camping (until the apocalypse then 100% camping). I see that...

I have been considering using a Light Truck tires, all my YouTube full timers are recommending them. (LOLOHO and KYD, check them out) My 274RK is 6900 dry, gvwr is 9900 lbs. I will have it weighed this spring to verify weights. With the size 225/75R/15D current is close and the weight rating is...

I am looking for a 3/4 or 1 ton truck to use as a TV. Just want a basic truck (think work truck, XL type trim). Gas or diesel. Prefer <100k miles and 2014 or newer. I have been doing the search thing on auto trader and Ebay and found many of them, but they all look like they have been work...
