Re: Hauling a crew cab

The smaller the trailer the heavier the truck you'll need. with a 16 foot trailer you'd have to pull the truck all the way to the front putting a whole lot of weight on the tounge. you dont have enough length to balance the truck on the trailer. if you have to do that I'd get the heaviest truck you can.

This is a 16 foot trailer. It's way to far forward on that trailer.


my trucks not dragging the ground because it has 1 ton springs... on my dads 1/2 ton f150 the bumper was literally 5 inches off the ground with the same truck on the same trailer... sounds dangerous to me. a CCLB should be ok behind a 1/2 ton of you had a 20 foot trailer or so. you have to have enoug length to balance the truck on the trailer, and I do not siggest ever hauling one on there backwards, as I tried it with the yellow ram since we didnt want to pull it out and have to turn it around first and almost lost it. 6 hours is a long way to go with a tounge heavy trailer and a light truck.
