I tow my 30'er with a diesel Excursion and I'm terrified of loosing a tire or towing any farther than LHC (200 plus miles). I've been contemplating getting a dually for about a year now. No way would I tow anything heavier with my truck even though I know it's capable of it. The safety of my family comes first. Dual wheels, low center of gravity, properly inflated tires, working trailer brakes, that's what you need for a twin engine 35'er IMO.


Do you really expect someone to come on here and say it would be ok to tow that boat with a little half ton Jeep?

Just off the top of my head, but a 10 meter Fountain is just shy of 33' although, by the time you figure in the beak and integrated swim step you are much closer to the 25' mark, but I still wouldn't do anything but drive down to a wet slip in a Jeep if that boat was invloved.

Can you expand on that??


















Oh never mind, it's not necessary.

Duallys are ok....as i have stated for months.....it is the peeps that use this stuff on single wheel vehicles that are really over the limits....I do not care what all the idiot manufactures are saying.....it is what goes happens on the street that counts...that avalanche is a turd for towing....which is why you have a dually....at least you made the move..

I bought a dually because I really wanted a black dually.
I love my dually so far, and just went to the truck-goody place today, but I miss my Avalanche already.

Most class lll and lV hitches are only rated for 6-10 k weight carrying. If you step up to a class V you might see 12k wc. Most balls and ball mounts ar only rated for 10k. So with that under you hat now, Brian is one of the few that IS doing it right with the wd system. Now, taken into count there is a very large safety margin on stuff like that you can get away with some crazy tows. No the Jeep is pass it's ratings but it will work at the ramp. On the road I would think real hard about it.

I launched a 402 Formula with a F150 for most of the summer. It was not an easy job but it worked. Now I have a little larger truck to move it around. And feel real safe. But here again the draw bar and ball are only rated for 10-12k. I have almost 1800lbs of tounge weight. Is it safe? Am I comfortable with?

I coundnt belive it didnt squat and much as it did .

Convert to a new style pintle or something....it is something better than a pos ball????.....nice truck for pulling...you will be happy and see what it is supposed to be like!!

You can buy 2 5/16 balls rated at 30 k

Does the f150 make a clunking sound as the transmission shifts into gear now? hehe
