Re: Replacing New Trailer King RST+ : Only Option Is Carlisle??
I also have the sailun tires,they replaced,The goodyear endurance. I have a 3 axle toy hauler 18,000 lbs Mine were built in not China, they were built end of January 2021. They are 16" And F rated @ at 110 lbs. I run only 90 psi as that's more than enough for my load.so far so good . Total miles so far 6,000 miles. They do ride harder than the goodyear but a much heavier tire.980Views0likes0CommentsRe: disc brake delay

Hi I also just traded my 15 Ram C/C DRW,For a 19 Ford DRW C/C . I was looking at the Ram Laramie Longhorn but the Ford was better priced.The King Ranch was $905.00 list more than Ram but because of the Ford incentives the Ford was $3,000 Less than the Ram, and thats out the door, I did road test the GM and if I was buying by price alone the GM would have won. So now after haveing the Ram for for years (No repairs) but many recalls. I am back in the King Ranch. 4 years ago I traded my 08 King Ranch in on Ram back then the Ram was $4,000 less than the King Ranch. Thing change but remain the same. So now I only have 300 miles on the King Ranch so no towing yet, I will put at least 500 miles on the King Ranch before I tow my trailer,Its 18,000 lbs.I will post after I tow.

Thats a lot of bike to hang on back of the trailer!! How does it tow with out bike on back?? Also remenber the when bike on back you will make the pin lighter. Need to get just truck weight so you can tell how much pin weight you have. On my trailer a 3 axle 44 ft when toys in back my pin is 600 lighter than with nothing in back.212Views0likes0Comments
