you don't need no stinkin' d-max, look what the 'ol half ton is capable of....

We've been doing this since that truck was new in '89. The boat goes maybe 3-4 miles from storage to gas station to ramp, but it gets 'er done. 4 low, can't go faster than about 15 mph, no trailer brakes, and a 4x4 coupled with a 2x4 between rear axle and bump stops. Last year we had it on a little too far forward and the front truck tires were chirping on take off, minimal steering. Don't worry, we're safe, we put a tow strap to another vehicle in the event the chevro blows a u joint or something

Can't wait to saddle 'er up to the d-max this spring....

Boat is 16,400 lbs dry, 39' long by 14' wide.
trailer is about 5000 lbs
350 gallons of fuel x 8.33 lbs per gallon = 2915
150 gallons of water x 8.33 lbs per gallon = 1249
13 golf cart batteries x 68 lbs ea = 884
prob at least 1000 lbs of misc gear total wieght somewhere in the nieghborhood of 27440 lbs.

Top this you rednecks.

haha, i was awaiting a response like those that were posted.

Just got my d-max, that ol' half ton belongs to my dad (as well as the boat)

No its not the factory hitch, and no it doesn't go far down the road, like I said it goes about 2-3 miles down back roads from the storage to the ramp. And yes the truck will pull it up the ramp in 4 - low, the van and tow strap is just in case... It draws quite a crowd every spring and fall, I'll tell you that.

Bunch of nay-sayer's you all are,I thought you'd be proud to see what a chevy is capable of, lol.
