It pulled it good, I was able to pull it at highway speed, I got 10mpg with the truck on it and 18mpg with empty trailer, almost all highway. The chevy is a 79 k-10 with a built all forged 350, a turbo 350 with shift kit and improved internals and 33's. the paint is 2001 corvette silver. That truck will pull, Ive used it to pull one of my dumptrucks before, dynoed one time at 325rwhp cant remember the torqe

If you have the tow package, V8, 3.92s, auto(which you get no matter what if you get the 3.92s), Club Cab, 4x2 you can tow 7100 lbs.

If you have the tow package, V8, 3.92s, Quad Cab, 4x4 (which I what I think you have), you can tow 6800 lbs. Swap 3.92s to 3.55s and you can only tow 5600 lbs.

That's from Dodge.com's tow guide.

Last night I had to come home and make a quick repair to the trailer and my naighbors where having a get together and had cars on both sides of my driveway and across from it, I managed to get the trailer halfway into the driveway but the truck was blocking the road, I Had to do some welding so I wanted it in the driveway so my cords would reach, a taillight bracket got hit by a tire and broke off so needed to put on another to finish a run, people keep on stoping "hey you know your trucks in the road?" Id say "ya, tell the neaghbors to move some cars so I can move it" I mean, if I would have needed to park I would have had to park about 100ft from the house. sorry, little rant.




P.S. the light is one I took off one of the dumptrucks so I could have one temporaraly that is why it has a reverse light lol
