Gas verses Diesel

Not if he stacks those logs right.

It's crazy. So I bought this trailer to move wood. That was really becoming a pain for me. Now, I get people stopping like crazy to ask if they can buy the wood off me, or take it for free. I roll into town empty and roll back home empty most days. Those logs were going three houses down from this one.
I think people around me wonder if I ever haul logs with it. Every time they see me the trailers empty.

Let 'em think whatever they want! You're making money and not HAVING to haul logs home, right?!?

Yeah, It's been great. Doesn't always work out, but most often it does.

What are y'all sayin? All those logs, all that firewood, all that money?!?!?

AHH, Yeah, sure, I guess!!

Yeah, I looked at the rating for the hitch and it is 18,500. Should it be more than that?

If its 18,500 than you should be alright. You must have a 2 1/2 receiver and not a 2 inch. I'd still be carefull with tongue weight though. Wouldn't be a bad idea to get it weighed at a truck stop to see where your at. It's not always true but most hitches max tongue weight is 10% of its capacity.

Here is how I fixed my problem!!! View attachment 33126

Royce, how are you liking your new truck? What is the turning radius like, and how does it compare to your Ford and Mitsubishi....

I really like it a lot. I find that it is way better than the ford. It has a LOT more power than the 6.0 that my ford had. Plus, it hasn't given me any major problems. I did just do rear brakes, rotators, and front steer tires. Thing runs like a dream. Turning radius is WAY better than the ford, but not as good as the mitsubishi. I would buy another one is heart beat.

Glad to hear it's turned out to be a great truck. I see a lot of tow trucks that are that model, so I'm not surprised to hear you say it has good power. My chevy 1-ton will be 20 years old next year, so I'm always thinking about the next step. Put in a new power steering pump with the help of a friend this weekend, and it's doing fine.

I think our next truck will be a GMC 5500 with just a bit more chip capacity. They are great trucks IMO!! When the time is right to upgrade they are pretty easy to come by used and in good condition.
