Hahahha i have the same trailer. Is that a 5x8?

I picked up mine couple years ago at Lowes.

Push it, pull it, it's all about the same right?

Nope! That's the 12 x 6 Trailer, but it is from Lowe's!!!

Pulled this trailer fully loaded with party supplies about 400 miles... was really impressed with how it pulled! Haven't even put a hitch into the receiver on the 02 yet though...

KY_BOB · « **Reply #8 on:** February 25, 2008, 03:41:14 PM »

Nothing lately but I hope to be pulling a pontoon boat similar to Donnie's this weekend.

Donnie1 · « **Reply #9 on:** February 25, 2008, 05:42:00 PM »

Mine still in winter storage right now.

I'll also be towing one of these this year. We have one just like the one in the pic, I just don't have any pics of ours. Had it out one time last year. Hit 50 mph across the water with 4 people on board.

As soon as I find a good 2500, you can swap it with the Durango.
I put 4:10's and Superchips in the Durango, but there's not enough motor for the mountains.....or long hills for that matter

The 2500 will suit you best.

Good luck on your search

Last thing I towed that I have a pic of is my old Iroc, taking it to be painted.

We will be there over the 4th for a Starquestclub.com meet.
Actually Pigeon Forge, but I'm sure we will drive into Gatlinburg and do some things there too.

Did you guys to the Tail of the Dragon run?

I have rode the Dragon (Deals Gap U.S. 129) for the last 11 years. Every year we go down there.
I have not gone yet this year because I am taking my bike down there during the Nationals and riding it then.

The Reason -

The reason for buying our AV was to tow our sons race boats during the summer to his races through out the country. Hope our 5.3lt won't let us down. My Silverado 5.7lt did just fine. My first go around using a 5.3 lt. Any input? The total rig weighs in at 2800 lbs.

bluedevil · « **Reply #31 on:** December 31, 2008, 11:36:22 PM »

Nice boat collection. The trailer/boats looks pretty light-weight. I dont think youll have any problems.

Some have installed a Tranny cooler. Runs about $125.

Mine a three other friends' bikes on our Laughlin run....

My buddy's disabled bike....

A parade float (two motorcycles and a few guys), plus a DJ w/DJ equipment (turntables & speakers) in the bed, extra speakers strapped to the roof.....

My favorite...towing my pup Nero around. He really loves riding in the AV

Hopefully I won't have to do this very often

I'm always ready to help out but I hate to have to do this as it means someone is gonna be without their Avy for a while.

The second pix is what my camera right above my hitch saw. I love having the second input for that adapter on a switch so it can be live all the time. We were able to keep an eye on things the whole way home.

Start a thread about your research on a toy hauler. I've been thinking about one myself but haven't looked real hard at them yet. Don't have any clue how much one would weigh.

Might do that. Have to organize my research first......

I can tell you them suckers are HEAVY. The ones that brag about 1/2 ton towable, super lite, blah, blah, are like 5000 empty, +100 gal water at 8lbs/gal, +20 to 40 gallon gas at 6 lbs/gal + dishes and other camping supplies THEN we are going to add a pair of 700 lb street bikes.....I run out of GCVW quick.

Because of a couple of our requirements, we are stuck with above 24 to 25 foot. Some of the little ones (19') might be lighter but not by much.......

I usually tow whatever needs to be towed. I live out in the country, and that's how I make money on the side. Only pic I have, but I usually have a trailer hooked up stacked with wood as well. This pic was from when I had to pull a rail fence out for a friend on her farm, put all the runners in the AV.
