Re: What do I need to know - smart car- toy hauler
I have almost 147,000 miles on my 2010 Smart Car. They are safe to drive and have respectable crash performance. I've worked in the Automotive manufacturing business for 33 years and don't have any concerns about its safety performance. I carry my Smart in a Raptor 412TS. There is no problem with ground clearance or high centering on the ramp. My car weighs in at 1,860 lbs. The RV ramp is rated for 3,000 lbs. I've hauled the Smart in the Raptor for a few thousand miles with no issues.796Views0likes0CommentsRe: MDT truck

You seen them on the rear? 2oldman, since you doubted my info; :B I stopped on the way home from work and confirmed front and rear tires are 22.5. Front's are G661's, rear's are G149 RSA's, 22.5. I know Goodyear may not show them on their website, maybe once they did and discontinued them, I don't know.487Views0likes0CommentsRe: MDT truck

I'd look for the 22.5s This truck has 22.5 tires on it. I've seen it and it's noted in the description. The description does have an error on the engine specs. It says it has a 7.2l, 3300hp CAT. I think it should read "300hp". If it were 3300hp it would be in my drive way with flames painted on the side and at the drag strip each weekend... :) Lower in the description the dealer does note that it is a CAT C7 300hp.487Views0likes0CommentsRe: MDT truck
I have a 2006 Sportchassis built from an M2-112. I pull a toyhauler with either a Smart Car or motorcycles in the garage. I don't use the truck as a destination run-about vehicle. I wouldn't hesitate to use in that way, just don't need to. The bikes and Smart get 40+ MPG. I do drive the truck around home for exercise and fuel runs. I don't have any problems with in-town driving. As some have already said, it turns shorter than a pick-up truck. The Sportchassis is longer than a pick-up, so one parking space doesn't work. The nose or tail will be over the line. This truck is a pre-emission model so none a the re-gen or DEF needed.318Views0likes0CommentsRe: Taskmaster ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer

Was looking at a set of these for my 2013 Keystone Montana High Country 338DB. Thanks! Had them on my last Fuzion toyhauler. I saw the trailer 2 years later and the same tires were still on it. I have them on my current Raptor toyhauler and on my farm/utility trailer. No problems in the last 5 years.500Views0likes0Comments
