Heavy Duty Tow Vehicle

I made this picture several years ago, I think about 06. I traded the Alumilite in 06 for an 06 Alumascape fiver. I still have the truck. I can also pull the fiver with that truck although I don't do it much. I have another big truck but it has a tandem axle and the distance between the fifth wheel and the back of the truck is such that it prohibits me from pulling with that truck. I am thinking of getting an extra set of rails and mounting them on the extreme rear of the frame so I can mount my puck up mounted fifth wheel on it. That would allow me to pull with that truck too.


The truck and trailer.

    I will second this on the Escapees HDT forum, that's where I gathered all my info on towing this way, even found a Kenworth with the Smart car for sale there I purchased. Both your trucks are great looking rigs.
  • I like the green & white Ford. What year is it?
    It's really cool. :)
  • I have always said you can never have too much truck when it comes to towing. You hit the nail right on the head....TWICE.
