I just wanted to know who actually uses these beasts for what they are made for. So tell me what you tow, how often , and how much it weighs. Im just excited to know what these babys are made of. I tow a 5000 lb trailer 300 miles a week.

I tow a 14,000 lb 5th wheel trailer a couple of times a month when we go camping.

...24-foot Haulmark race trailer with my Super Class drag car (my avatar) about every other weekend - weighing in at ~12K pounds average fully laden (car, tool boxes, generator, equipment, etc.). The wife's C2500 pulls the Sundowner 777 horse trailer just about every weekend during Spring and Summer - photo in the garage - about 7K pounds with two Shire horses.

Before fuel prices went through the roof I towed my horse trailer (~6.5k w/horses) 3-4 times a week and my 5'er (~6k) 3-4 times a year. During hay season, I tow 12-15k 2-3 times. Since I an't afford to buy fuel to rodeo or to camp, I don't tow much at all now.

I pull a 16' tandem axle enclosed trailer 5-6 days a week. I am not sure what it weighs when I have it loaded up. I had new axles/leaf springs installed due to a few overloads wiping out my original sets. I busted both sets of leaf springs, bent an axle, AND cracked my frame! That was fun pulling it while STILL loaded to the repair shop. They will never forget my face :)

14,900 pound 5er, several times a month, several hundred miles at a time. Two or three times a year we go a couple of thousand miles. Best damn truck I've ever owned, screw that F*rd Tow Command system, this truck is a beast and takes command!

I use mine a lot on the farm. Pull a 25' gooseneck trailer and haul tractors, equipment, hay, my bulldozer, etc..... Not at all unusual to gross 32-35 thousand pounds. Also pull a bass boat around with it, but hell, you could do that with one of them Japmobiles.-:tLOVE my LBZ:RockOn::RockOn:

The 01 lb7 gets quite a work out at times. I have a 22' dove tail utility trailer, tractor, ect. Prob the heavist load was 40' sheets of structural decking.

Have any Pictures of your new trailer?

Pics of trailer are in my garage- I am having a second awning installed right now but as soon as I get it back I will add a few more pictures.

The new trailer is just an awesome home away from home!

I farm and during harvest time pull a Rhoman Goosneck grain trailer. Looking at the weight tickets from last week I was grossing a little over 40,000 pounds. My 3/4 ton pulls it like a dream, just don't forget to plug in the trailer plug for brakes:eek:. Only did that once;).

Dexter

On the farm uses, 80"x20' gooseneck weighs up ???. 30' tandem dually flat deck: hauling either of the big tractors, about 35K gross; 15 bales hay, 33K; 1500 gallon water tank for tending sprayer, along with all the other stuff- herbicides, pump, 4 wheeler, etc, 29K. Gets a good workout; keeps the soot from building up...!

I Tow The Flatbed Dual Axle With The Rock Crwler Jeep Cherokee (and Spare Parts And Tools) Almost Every Weekend In The Rocky Mtns. Tows Great Im Guessing The Weight To Be About 9000 Lbs.

Well my dad tows a trailer...most of the time it has 2 quads and a golf cart but we upgraded to a Ranger Crew.......

I pull my 12,000 lb. fiver as needed but not needlessly.Work construction covering Wisconsin but usually 3 to 12 weeks at one location and park camper on private land near worksite location,commuting home on weekends.Also camp at campgrounds that are close by if wife has a week or so off to join me.Have pulled the fiver 1,860 miles with my 07 classic,but have postponed longer camping trips for short hauls since fuel has skyrocketed.

Fuzion 393 toyhauler, 13.6K empty, 16.5K gross.

It's 20 ft and we tow about every other weekend about 400 miles each trip

Pics of my Pinzgauer 710M trailered up and hauled from Denver to SW Colo for the summer/fall. Trailer 2500lb empty, Pinz 4500lb (w/ 1/2 tank of gas), Misc lumber/tools in Pinz 500-700lbs.

Truck pulled it with no issues, but the wind did reak havoc with mileage and made the trailer a bit squirrely at times.

got a 32' pace triple axle tag race car hauler. weighs about 7500lb empty, and about 12K loaded. probably be 13k once i get it fully outfitted. will be pulling it with the new '08 dually for the first time next week. i'm guessing it will be a much nicer ride than with my '00 E350 SRW PSD.

:iamwithst Yea a coleman trailer in bed of a truck on the trailer:rolleyes:


Thanks man!! If I get a Kodiak you know yours is how I want it.

Funny , I went to the drags last night . Towed in with black truck in avatar on 48 ft trailer . Unhooked , went to staging lanes and dragged the kodiak a few times and blew the tires off to no end in the box , then pulled back around and hooked back up and towed home at 30K .

Kodiak didnt do to bad for only 2wd with the 42" big tires and leaving light on boost . Best the truck ever did back in the day racing 2wd leaving hard on 36" tires was 10.00 , and last night it still ran 10.23 , not to shabby .

A couple NHRA techs came over and said , only you Johnny . Most guys pull in to race what they brought on the trailer . Only you pull in and race the tow vehicle . :D:D

I said ... Ya you like that , and then hooked up put a smaller tune back in and towed home at 30K . ;)

This is what I tow 18K loaded

these.....

towed a 12,000 lb 5th wheel 1,100 miles to Florida with a 07 GMC LBZ crew cab. Pulls it with ease, don't even know it's back there most of the time....hoped better then 9 mpg though.

GF's Jeep and all her stuff from SC to Kansas. We are both in aviation maintenance as contractors and she used to pull the jeep with a 27 foot camper till it caught on fire going down the hwy torward SC. So imagine packing up a woman and all her stuff. 2 rollaway tool boxes, all her clothes pots and pans, dishes, weight set etc etc etc and a treadmill, a Refrigerator, De-humidifier. 1153 miles

Some of you guys are pulling more than I am. My truck with tools, 52 gal titan fuel tank, 5th wheel hitch and passangers at 7,580. With 5 er attached truck weigth 9,675. RV dry wt listed at about 9200. I have 30# of propane,25 gal of water, and about 2/3 loaded with stuff. RV wt hitched to truck was 8,660. I didn't get the axels weighed as there was a long line.

I'm not to good at this but does that give me a pin weigth of 2090#? Also I,m over GVWR. I didn't do as much research as I should but this is not a real heavy 5er. The GVWR on the RV is 11,870 and I'm sure I'm not near that. What do you guys that know about this stuff think?

towing 31' Thor Tahoe Toybox 3 axle tow behind. 8300 lbs dry (what sticker says) 1300 lbs tongue weight (again sticker). Already upgraded DrawTite Hitch 15K and fully loaded im guessing around 12k has gvwr of 14k putting:eek: 3 quads and 1 RZR in there so not really pushing it. My Dmax luvs towing this :D doesnt even feel like its there sometimes. My buddy has a similar setup 30' fiver with a power choke he has to get a running start up hills and i just leave it in cruise and catch him at the top:).

Yep,what I have seems to tow well and can get up and go. Just wonder about being so over loaded. I realy like the extended range of the Titan fuel tank.

Tow a few times a year. Pull a 29' Wilderness TT several times a year, wet it weighs in the neighborhood of 7500. Pulled 3 cord of wet firewood in a friends LARGE dump trailer last fall....not sure what that weighed but had to be upwards of 10k+ with the trailer. I knew it was there but the LBZ pulls like a dream anyway.
12.5 MPG pulling the TT, 10.5 pulling the firewood....like to see a Tundra do that.

We tow a 9500 # competition BBQ trailer 2 times a month April-October.

I tow antique tractors to the pulls during the summer months, 14,500 lbs, best pulling rig I have ever had, pulls like it aint even there.

Maiden voyage for trailer bought it in Hesperia CA and towed it home to Seattle area last May.

Trailer has had axles flipped (not a pavement queen), shocks installed, battery upgrade to 4 x 6V and a few other things.

Tow a 29' fifth wheel camping twice a month and 2 week long trips a year. Weighs around 10k. Have only towed the trailer out to the dealers to get bearings repacked for a total of 16 miles roundtrip. Can't wait to actually get out there and tow with this truck.

I just finished about a 1000 mile round trip towing my 30' Jayco trailer to Bristol, TN. Unbelievable power. I don't know why it took me so long to go diesel! I can't wait to go on my next camping trip!

38' TT, work box, and bike
Total 16,000 lbs according to CAT scales

24' Wells Cargo enclosed race car trailer. Loaded up for a race weekend the truck and trailer scale at 18,800.

I crest the longest grades at 65mph so I have complaints. If you want a fun one, try coming east out of Bullhead City, AZ or the Baker grade on the 15 heading east in the middle of July (only time my trans got warm enough to yell at me).

I don't get out nearly often enough. Unfortunately I abuse my truck by driving it around town empty on short trips to the plant nursery, Costco, etc. I usually don't leave empty though...
