Any body towing a big fiver with there first gen? and whos got a big 5er?

 

Buddy of mine pulls a 36 footer with 3 slides and a trailer behind.

 

Cool keep em coming

 

What would I have to do to make a 3/4 ton be able to tow a 40 footer toy hauler weighing a bit over 13k wet?

 

I would get some gauges (Pyro, boost) if you don't already. I have pulled around the same with a tired AT with no problems, wasn't fast but it did it. My truck is stock though. Some airbags would be a good idea.
My 2 cents

 

Yeah, I have gauges near the top of the list. I was just afraid that the truck would get squished under the massive weight haha. My dad's 6.7L one ton drives it around like a champ, I was curious as to how our suspension would hold up. I bet I would be bottomed out on stock rear leaves right now. Air bags would be nice But I'd even like a bigger leaf pack.

 

I was unaware that the rear of a 1st gen. Would sag

 

 

There is a suspension shop near where I live that will rebuild a set of leafs custom to your needs for 200$ or so, with the age of these trucks it wouldn't be a bad idea.

 

My 5er is small (5,000 unloaded, 7,500 with max cargo load), but I have been building my truck up to be able to tow a larger one with no problems. I'm trying to limit it to 10,000-12,000 pounds.




My camper tows excellent now since I added compounds.
