Toy Hauler Pictures

My Weekend Warrior FB2200 prior to going to my signature photo - We needed more garage than the 15'+ this TH offered, but miss the large capacities of the WideBody models.

Took ours out to the river (Colorado) and stayed at Emeral Cove for the week!!

I just got a new truck, picture taken at Johnson Valley Res (near Fish lake Utah).

That Is a nice looking rig. Does the new Ram have the new Aisin Heavy Duty transmission with the 850 lbs ft of torque, or the normal 68re tranny?

Aisin with 850 torque = yes! I love it! It also has 4:10 gearing in the rear end.

Dodge/Ram finally got smart and put a suitable auto tranny in their trucks, good for them.
Not all of Us wanted a manual trans.
The 5.9/6.7 Cummins was standard in many medium duty trucks along with an Allison trans, they had a very good track record.

Good point. I stand corrected. Carry on.

Cooter, you're hi-jacking this thread. There are lots of threads about guys pulling over loaded. Please go there.

Seriously? Somebody asked the guy how much his rig weighs and he responded. How is that hijacking the thread anymore than your post?

UVW is 13135, GVWR is 18000. I figure I'm somewhere been 15k and 16.5k fully loaded. For right now I only haul one 08 CanAm Outlander Max XT 800 and bicycles and regular camping gear.

I was skeptical of the 6.0 when I got it due to it's reputation and I've always been a GM dude, but so far it's been outstanding.

Got it for 8k under book though, so that helped.

That's a 2006 F350. The Victory Lane is is a 39SRV, it's 39' long.

It's heavy, but this pickup handles the weight very well. The trailer sits the truck down onto the overloads, but it pulls great.

The first time I pulled it, I was heading into a constant 40-45mph head wind that changed to cross wind every so often, and I felt super stable the entire time. The people I was going with were in front of me in a flatbed Dodge dually pulling a bumper-pull type toy hauler and he complained when we got there how unstable he felt.

Maybe I was unstable to but didn't realize it. I've been pulling trailers a long time, and no white knuckles here, that time at least.

How much does that Victory lane weigh? I pull our Raptor 4014 LEV that I weighed empty (no toys, water, fuel, clothing, gear) except for the normally stored stuff (dishes, bedding, towels, tools and a spare potable gen). The raptor and truck came in at 25,740lbs. The factory lists the trailer at 13,590lbs with a 3,180lbs hitch weight. The Ford 6.0 pulls pretty well, not near as good as the new 6.7 but it does the job. My 06 is a F550 Dually chassis cab and is super stable, just wish I had a little more power.
