Pretty lightweight by most standards for the DMAX to haul around...


Current:


2003 Chevy 2500HD D/A CC, 4x4, SB

Monterey 22 ft bowrider boat, about 5200 lbs on the trailer


Previous:


1999 GMC Suburban 5.7L/auto/3.73 (the boat was too much for it at 6000 feet elevation)

 

[4x4man]

I guess I'll chime in next..


Current setup:


2003 GMC Sierra D/A CC 4x4 Short Bed...20K Reese hitch, Prodigy Controller


2002 Forest River Wildwood 28BHSS...custom hitch built in bumper for towing or as an over-engineered bike rack hitch.


Previous setup's


2001 Chevy Silverado EC 4x4 2500HD with 8.1L and Allison


1997 Chevy Silverado EC 4x4 1500 with 5.7L and 4L60 auto


1998 Ford Ranger regular cab 4x4, short bed, 3.0L 5spd manual


1994 Ford Ranger regular cab 4x2, flare side, 4.0L auto





Also had a 1999 Larson SEi 186 bowrider that we had for 3 seasons before selling it and purchasing the 5er.


I think that is about it. I seem to go through trucks like people go through shoes...but I think I found a keeper!!

Ok, ok, you guys have got me beat. I've got the TV, but not the TT. My little Coleman is more like the tail on a dog than a real tow. But that's one of the reasons I wanted this forum on the Board. There are lots of trailers out there and I will be in the market as soon as I sell my sailboat. So, the more I learn, the better. By the way, for you Colorado boys, I graduated from Wasson HS in Colo Spgs a LONG time ago. My folks still live there. Great state.

Wow that's a heck of a setup you got going down the road Bearman!! Nice to know we aren't even coming close to straining the DMAX under these loads. It doesn't matter what you throw at 'em they just keep performing!

32' enclosed trailer with 1 or 2 pulling tractors, weights, tools, fuel and gear inside. I usually scale 20000-26000 combined depending on which tractor(s) and how many suitcase weights are needed to make the weight classe(s)

[DMAX2DAMAX]

Another light weight here, I tow a little single axle utilty trailer with my 4 wheeler and (not at the same time) I also tow a 22' Aztec competition ski boat that probably weighs about 4500#. Together they don't make much of a load but they sure tow a lot nicer behind my dmax than they did behind my 6.2L
