A huge 500 lbs with fishing gear.

My girlfriend says it's a pretty truck but an ugly boat

The only thing I have towed is my step-sons F-150 Lightning after it blew a freeze plug while he was drag racing it. Dual axle car-hauler trailer. I have purchased a weight distributing hitch for it but I did not use it when I pulled the broken Ford and did not have any problems.

ORIGINAL: wildneg

I tow my g/f around...

OK JOKE! ... Good thing she doesn't come on here

I don't tow anything yet, but soon a 2 horse trailer w/ 2x1200lb horses. We'll see! I hope I can handle a 4 horse trailer in the upcoming year or 2

-- K

hope you got a hemi, because my girlfriend bought her truck for a horse trailer, and with two horses in the 4.7 that thing is a sloth, it will NOT get up most hills, she's seriously looking at trading it in for a Hemi or a diesel.

Is that a Hemi or Cummins powered QC?

I towed my car and had all my worldly possession in the bed of my truck when I went from Florida to Maryland and back last year. I still didn't use 1st gear unless I was in accident traffic (1st is a great traffic crawl gear, not so much pedal pushing).

Diesel Power magazine had a picture of a stock 600 series Cummins Ram (04.5-06) towing a strip mine dump truck to explain that a factory truck can tow over the factory rating, but you won't be able to turn or stop as effectively.

I will be towing a 28ft camper-5620 dry and about 7,000 loaded with gear. I've got a Hensley hitch, so I can't wait to see how good this will tow. We are also looking into a utility trailer, that won't be much to tow and a 21 foot boat.

FINALLY!! Got some pics of the trailer.



Well, a pic. It's a KZ frontier travel trailer 25RS rear slide. We picked it up at gags trailer sales down in mankato, MN about a year back. This truck really hauls it nicely.
