Re: ~ Towing High Speed ~
Man
maybe im a weenie, but i wont tow anything anywhere near that fast. 60-65 is PLENTY fast. too many things can go wrong, and that much more at speed. I think you guys are crazy pulling these trailers 80+. Its dumb in my book. Ive had a couple of close encounters and been able to stop. these trucks are not made to tow 10,000+ at 80 and stop in an emergency. |

Re: ~ Towing High Speed ~
This is kind of on topic.....
Have a 94 GMC 1500. Thinking about a little more truck. I pull a 5500 or so pound 26. Is a duramax necessary?? I pulled the rig from Milwaukee to Ohio. But the truck wasn't very happy. |

04 2500 HD Durmax w/Allison trany, 35 Lightning w/steel Myco dual axle trailer - 75 mph.
Could handle more I'm sure. She handles great, but fast enough for me with approx 12,000lbs. Love the trany/diesel combo. It acts like I have a jake brake when coming back down through the gears... really saves on the braking. |
Re: ~ Towing High Speed ~
don't forget to leave the gps on in your boat so you can brag
your cigarette goes 81mph!! |
