New Toy Hauler

I don't want to give you the wrong impression but I would think it should do ok. Just do keep in mind I know the ford 6.7 has quite a bit more power than the earlier versions of the dmax in stock forms.

The carbon 327 was one of the lightest that we could find considering its features and as I said we are happy, but I know when it is time to replace the truck I will go drw....for now it is working just fine.

My father has a 07 dmax drw and tows a 40' cross terrain, his truck is stock and has never had an issue, I know his trailer is heavier than mine.

Also one thing if you do look at the carbon 327 I would consider having them install a second awning over the garage entry door. This weekend we got a lot of rain and found the main awning does a poor job of covering the main entry door.

really looks like a nice rig.

the reason I asked about pulling is that I have an 04 Duramax 2500. I had airbag helper springs on my last truck. Food for thought if I were to upgrade trailers.

similar situation I had dealers out on the east claims nobody wants toyhauler so they have very limitied stock. When we were shopping I wanted at least a 12' garage and nothing over 40'.
Carbon 327 was the first that we saw that we could both agree on and so far have been happy, although we do miss having a dining table and chairs like our previous trailer had.

I have checked a few of the larger dealers and their prices are pretty good, however I'm getting 4k shipping quotes that erase most of the savings.
There must be an aggressive dealer somewhere in the western half of the counrty?

Just a thought. You could order from a big dealer in OH and have it delivered. It will probably still be much less expensive than local. We chose to travel there but many order and get theirs delivered. 35% off + is the norm...

Found a Carbon 327 to look at this week, now if I could find a Torque 321 somewhere close I'd be in business.
Anybody have a good dealer in Northern Ca. or reasonably close to they would recommend?
I don't mind traveling a few hundred miles either for the right package.

I can.

I cant vouch for it being a derated 350, im not Ford, but I do know t is very similar.
As for how it pulls the 327, I was in the white mountains last weekend and it never missed a beat, the 6.7 diesel has zero issues when it comes to power. I am running air bags to help level it, yes I have band aids on my truck as some would say.

Also I think having the length of a crew cab long bed helps with the 38' trailer.

I recently purchased a carbon 327 paid $48k after some haggling, mine came loaded even has 3 batteries and generator. So far we love it and yes it is the lowest priced 5er toy hauler from keystone, but we really don't need a side by side fridge or stereos with 12 inch woofers.

how does a 3/4 ton pull that large hauler?

Well, since his F250 is just a de-rated on paper SRW F350, I'm guessing he's doing just fine.
