It was here a few times during this whole experience, but only in pieces and in worse shape then when it left the time b4 that.

Im sure all sit and stare at it a few days once its back.

Awww, I bet you can't wait Krix...I know when mine got popped on the drivers side and I didn't have it for 4 days, I was so upset (although I kind of liked the Tahoe they gave me...LMAO!)

some new info..

trailer is 3200 lbs., and has twin 7500 lb axles. Its also 8 1/2' wide with driver and passenger entry/access doors.

do our trucks weigh too much, or will this still be good?

tow pig can pull 9300 lbs and has air helper rear, and trailer has the load level hitch.

tpr103 · 07-09-2008, 09:49 PM

you should be ok! if you have anyworries just take it slow!

Krix330cic(NJ) · 07-09-2008, 10:07 PM

6000 + 3200 = is cutting it right at the trucks limit.

I'm guessing the big load level hitch setup helps out quite a bit.. I'll just be taking it slow for sure!

Thanks all.

I pulled a 1997 3/4 ton 4X4 Suburban on my open trailer (probably about 7500 - 8000lbs) using my 2000 Harley truck for nearly 200 miles going between 50 and 60mph with ZERO problems. Make sure fluids are full, tires are to pressure, trailer brakes are working and the load is centered so you aren't too heavy or light on the tow rig.

Yup, yup, yup!

You will be fine with the "prime hauler"/trailer set-up you have described. The load-leveler makes a world of difference. I have yanked around over a 10K load on a 2.4K flatbed without problem behind F350. It is a good idea to ensure the "stinger/load-leveler" set-up is equipped with an anti-sway "brake" ... makes a big difference, as well. Assume you have trailer brakes/controller? Just cinch her down tight, go slow, and stop occasionally to recheck/inspect. Take care.

HELP

Guy at trailer place said this trailer, which has twin 7000lb axles, will not hold my truck.

My understanding was that EACH axle held 7000lbs, not 3500lbs each axle.

Was this guy just not understanding my question and is mistaken, or am I not seeing this correctly?

This screws me all up, as I have a shoot with Truckin' Mag in NYC coming up!!!!!! (JHO's I need your help!!)

'02 H-D #677 · 07-16-2008, 06:38 PM

If it has 7K axles then it is a Class IV trailer with 2 5/16" tongued-ball! ... you could carry a fairly good size back-hoe with it! Gaiting factor is the towing capacity of your "tractor/prime-hauler". Your "trailer guy" must just sell trailers and has never towed anything. I tow a 7.5K '35 Packard during fairly long-hauls to Concours d'Elegance on a 5K tandem axle flatbed. Trailer weighs 2,450. Have 10K load leveler hitch with anti-sway brake and electric trailer brakes. Have never had a problem. You will be fine.
