How does it tow being that long? I'd imagine right turns in tight areas are challenging.
The LS is the rarest because the bare chassis price is higher than the other 2, but is well worth the money in my opinion. The length really isn't really a problem if you plan ahead, although anything 92' long can be a challenge in tight spots. In a turn, the rear end of the toter swings out and the front end of the trailer follows. Another plus is the truck and trailer are the same length so the pivot point is in the middle.

The cover was made by Canvas Connection, I think he has a page on spacebook.

My old girl - 2001 Silverado 3500HD - 496 with the Alison transmission. She has been a good truck for me but after 17 years, now its time to get a new one next month. (2018 3500HD Duramax Sport LTZ)

Do you launch the boat with the Motorhome also? I have a 40' diesel pusher, but I have always been afraid to launch the boat with it.

I haven’t launched with it yet because most places I go have tractors. I don’t see it being a problem, because I can hit the differential locks and pull with all 8 rear tires if I need to.

I don't have that option. Just 2WD. Here's a picture towing my old boat, only 19 ft. but 115 mph. I would make my wife follow in the truck so I could launch the boat.

I need to get a picture but I just finished up my 2008 F250 with a 12 valve Cummins in it. It should be right around 500hp/1000 ft lbs mark. It was a ton of work and I'm glad to have it back on the road. Actually drove it to work this morning. I'll get a picture this weekend.
