Re: Which truck would you choose
I have a friend that owns a diesel performance shop. He makes his living off Fords, sees a few Duramax and Cummins. I was looking for a new tow vehicle (upgrading from my 91 Dodge 12V ram dually finally) and asked him what he would buy if he were looking himself - Duramax would be his choice and that is what my new 17 Silverado has.334Views0likes0CommentsRe: Greatest fear finally reared its ugly head
My worst experience was: about 15-18 years ago while towing my 31' terry 5th I pulled into an RV park about 11 PM in Medford OR after a LONG days pull on Xmas eve trying to get home for Xmas day. I have a habit of each time I stop anywhere I always walk a 360 degree tour checking everything out. It was dark this time so after pulling into a pull thru space I grabbed the flashlight when I got out and started my check. I had gone past the drivers side wheels when it dawned on me something did not look right at all. Turning around with the light I saw the rear trailer wheel was there but there was NO TIRE on it. I had not noticed any difference in pulling the trailer, no noise, nothing to alert me. The only thing left of the tire was the bead on the wheel and a black mark on the plastic fender. Moral of this story is that strange things can and do happen. Knee mail sent that night to express my thanks that a disaster did not happen and no one was hurt. Put the spare on the next morning and made it home for Xmas.597Views0likes0CommentsRe: 5th Wheel Hitch Weight
I got the Curt goose neck under bed option (dealer installed) on my new Silverado The truck did not have the factory puck system. I can tow goose or drop in my Curt 5th hitch and latch it up the goose neck latch. Best of both worlds (at least I think so) and when not towing I have a clean bed with no rails. Love it. I have had a couple of Reese previously and one B&W. GM liked Curt so that was good enuf for me.463Views0likes0Comments
