Tow much?

[Sage]

I was pulling an excavator home last week (320 miles) and was wondering how much others actually tow?? My truck has just over 17,200 miles and between 4800-5000 of it is towing something

This was my last load:

Wow brother that's beyond pushing it, especially in your case. Its a SCAB.

Max I've towed w/ my SCREW Raptor was about 650 lbs. + 5x8" Enclosed Trailer.

He's probably not over 6000k with that. Looks a little tongue heavy though.

I had about 3k with another couple hundred in snow here. Didn't have it balanced right.

I have more than 1000 miles this year alone towing this. No gear or fuel in the boat is still 4000 lbs+. As people said in other forums, it's more about stopping and making sure the tail isn't wagging the dog.

Actually, the excavator in the photo only went 9 miles. The one I towed 320 miles was slightly smaller and on a different trailer, probably right at 5500 lbs total load. It sat pretty level on that trip as the hitch was higher than the one in the photo.

I have about 1000 miles towing, I'd say it weighs in around 5500 with my usual load out. Tows great, did take a little getting use to the softness of the rear.

I'm probably right around 5,000 miles towing (26,000 on the OD) and the stang/trailer comes in right under 6,000lbs loaded.

Todays load, about 4000 including the trailer, 20 miles. The pallet is just over a ton.

30' long. Roughly 7K lbs wet. Towed to and from Raptoberfest.
