First Trip Pulling Trailer - No Bull

This was my first trip pulling a trailer with my new truck. Had just over 4000 miles when I left Dallas. Went to Manhattan Kansas and back in 1 day. Around 1100 miles in 21 hours counting the 2 hour layover. Had to pick up my new friend "Bum". Averaged around 17.2 MPG overall. Check out the picture, somewhere in Oklahoma.

Re:First Trip Pulling Trailer - No Bull

Thanks for the help with the picture. Not sure what I'm going to do with Bum yet. You can find anything you want on Ebay ! I thought everybody was just staring at my truck !

I'm on it dude. Think it might ruffle a few feathers if it said...
EAT CANADIAN BEEF? :P

Wonder how fast I could go with that down the highway?

Here's a picture with Bum off the trailer while we rebuild it. Had to replace 2 springs, repacked all the bearings and new seals. Off to the sanblaster, new floor lumber and then paint. Reinstall Bum on trailer and then new marquis signs for each side.

Re:First Trip Pulling Trailer - No Bull

Oh yeah, I held it down to around 65 to 68 coming back and everone gave me a LOT of room. Except for all the folks that hung out their windows with cameras. Truck pulled better than anything I've ever owned. (Last ride was an HD GMC)
