Can i haul a case backhoe with my truck and a 5th, it is about 8ton
thanks tom

 

I would be scared to with 38" super swampers and your auto probably wont like it.

 

yea if you go slow and easy and not too far

 

they are rated at 2850 up to 3640 max load

 

It's just around town from job to job,and what type trailer do you think

 

I pull a 580K and a 450G no problem in a 3rd Gen.

Auto is tough going up little overpasses but it chugs along. The 6sp is much easier.

 

any pic,and what type of trailer do you use

16000 lbs. plus the trailer to carry it 5000-6000 lbs. 21000-22000 on a lifted 2500? I wouldn't

 

I'd drink the 5th and let someone else haul the backhoe.

 

IMO foolish, thats over 2x your rated towing capacity. I used to tow 580's with 5YD dumps all the time, no way I would put one behind a 3/4 ton.

 

What is the max i can tow with a 5th with the correct rated tires

 

Where is everyones sence of adventure??

Hook to it and see!!!

PS
Wear a helment and fire suit.

 

With a Gooseneck it might be allright,but those tires will let you know why everyone is saying no....they won't blowout (not likely anyway) But you gots lotsa rubber between the wheel and ground...If you MUST then be carefull

 

I'm not going to even comment how overloaded I have had my 99 2500 with a gooseneck. Lets just say I was way over 26,001 lbs which is in CDL territory but my truck also has a set of overload springs and about near stock size tires. A great deal of it depends on how your load the trailer to, the goal is to keep the majority of the weight on the axles of the trailer if at all possible.

 

remember only a certain percentage of the weight is actually on the truck, believe the towing for a 2500 is around 8500 on the gn hitch, not sure about the lifted part because real working trucks dont get lifted
