Re: ~ Towing High Speed ~
03 Excursion , 6 liter diesel pulling a 45' Sonic, about 70 mph ..... It was in the snow , I couldn't go any faster ......... :(
Ford F350 diesel single wheel , crew cab, pulling my 39' express cat (12' wide,20k lbs.+) , 85 mph on cruise ! :D No problem at all getting it stopped . I always have good equipment for that ! :cool: |
Re: ~ Towing High Speed ~
boot, yeah how far did you get on that Excursion buddy? :D :D
I had the 26' Sonic up to 92mph behind the Avalanche once trying to make it to he Richmond Radar Shootout on time; oddly enough. We towed Monsoon back from LOTO with BobbyB's 7.3 PSD Dually at better than 90mph a few times, and I have had Monsoon behind the Avalanche in the upper 80mph range a few times. I like having the Predator Diablo Power Tuner now, as you can watch all your engine's functions on the screen while driving. |

Re: ~ Towing High Speed ~
My last truck before my 04 duramax was a 02 duramax,cruised at 85 as high as 95(speed limiter) towing 272 baja after first getting truck but after getting 3 flat tires at same time coming back from hardy pond once i keep it around 75 max of 85 now.After a miserable year of pulling the 272 with 99 dodge ram STRUGGLING even with 4.11 gears at 70 mph the duramax just seemed effortless at 85 or 95 ,I gues i needed SPEED RATED TRAILER TIRES!
