YamaKiller Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 So here are some pics of our new rig. Got it from Shawn at Giant RV in Cali. He and Linda are great people to deal with. Towed great, just won't be going very far into the dunes any more. SEE YOU GUYS IN THE DUNES Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OGP Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 you don't really wanna know 17,300 HOLY CRAP. Whats your truck rated to tow? I guess that trailer was originally designed for a medium duty to haul it. At least you have a dually!!!! Its an awesome trailer. But I had no idea they weighed that much.

But I had no idea they weighed that much. well this is the 40' one, and he got the 40+5 which adds 5' to the garage so but for the 40'er Model FTL4005 Axle Weight 9610 lb. Hitch Weight 2990 lb GVWR 17000 lb. Payload 4400 lb. (the rest must be water and gas?) but still even the hitch weight thats quit a load, like you say at least you have a dually, Id look at getting the extra j endorsement or whatever depending on where you are from...

(the rest must be water and gas?) but still even the hitch weight thats quit a load, like you say at least you have a dually, Id look at getting the extra j endorsement or whatever depending on where you are from... yeah the extra 5' added alot. I am going to get the J endorsement and in the future maybe the f450 but I wanna wait to see how that new engine does. the truck really did tow it nice. I have added airbags and the edge to it and it towed up the big mounain from cali (cohon pass sp?) at 65. The big hill outside of Baker is the only hill that slowed me to 45 but once it downshifts to 2nd I can do 45 up any hill. Braking is good on the trailer. The real concern I have is where to park now at Dumont. I need to stay away from any sandy areas or I will be screwed of course when I get my lotto money I will just buy a frightliner..those are bada$$ Edited September 18, 2007 by YamaKiller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Rhino Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 ah a man that is seeing the light 1st he get a full throttle (The Crem De Le Crem) PLUS 5 so Crem De Le Crem De Le Crem 2nd looks at getting rid of his Dodge to get a F450 (Ford) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
