towing
 

I towed over 8000 pounds of shingles i was surpirsed beacuse my friends 95 chevy 1/2ton strugled pretty bad with it.
im glad to know my truck can pull that much
im woundering how much i could realy pull... maybe 10k?:metal::smoke::metal:

Re: towing
 

What it can pull and what is SHOULD pull are two different things
You need to check the owners manual as to what the capacities are

Pulling that much is a nice feeling and these trucks will do it . The bad feeling is trying to stop that load in an emergency situation .

i have hauled way too much with my trucks......tractors, 40' gooseneck with a 1949 and a 1972 chevy truck with a half ton, i know its not right but the trailer brakes would stop the whole deal without using the brake pedal in the pick-up.......does that make it unsafe??? i have hauled 104,000 pounds on a semi tractor trailer, all legal with permits and lights and placards.......is it safe?? yes and no, but what i am saying is that anything can happen even if u tow or even drive by the book, some people should never even hook onto a trailer, that where the people on the 6 o'clock new come from you know what i mean??
