i betcha that truck knows that trailers back there???

[5thwheeltravels]

On a long hill sure.  But we're in no hurry, only 2 years so far, plenty more to go!

[humormeplease]

I like how much brake dust has covered the front wheels in trying to stop this big trailer.....might want to upgrade to a full-size pick up?

[5thwheeltravels]

We only tow the trailer from point to point then drive the truck around. Current mileage trailer 6000 truck 25000. The dust collects on whichever. The trailers brakes are adjusted to brake the trailer, no extra on the truck. Full-size trucks are hard to park in Australia, in trailer parks and shopping malls, beachside, etc. Good suggestion, but we rejected the idea for these reasons.

that frontier won't last long.

Judging by the front right wheel on that Nissan those front brakes definitely have their work cut out, lol.

WTH??? Who decided it was wise to install a 5th wheel hitch in a mid size truck?.

@Joeyad4 see that i can understand... you need something that is that big and capable of pulling and maintaining control of a load that big and heavy... its when people go out and buy a huge ass 3/4 tone to tow a little feather lite trailer or 5th wheel thats just major over kill... get something that is appropriate for what your hauling... good choice on a truck btw... im looking getting one for my landscaping business...

@Joeyad4 see that i can understand.. a trailer that big with a load that heavy you need something that is capable of doing it... its the people that go out and buy a huge ass 3/4 ton pick up to pull a camper or a 5th wheeler like this one... when its major overkill...

@5thwheeltravels how long is that trailer and id get a 1500

[Joeyad4]

@manitoulin001 i need a trailer that big because i am a drag racer and drag race a 88 blown 1000 hp camaro iroc z and i need room for for tool boxes and all other cargo im not showing off im just stating why i need one. and if i had to chose a 3/4 ton pick up i would choose a chevy 2500 they are built to last

[longlivethe80s]

Oh my God!! That truck was not meant to haul that big ol' thing!

[bowhuntin89]

I've pulled many 5th wheel and gooseneck trailers with bigger trucks, usually 3/4 ton or duallies. when making tight turns, the corner of the trailer (5th wheel) or the neck-deck on a gooseneck can get very close to the cab of the truck. THe shorter the truck, the closer it gets. I slid backwards down a muddy hill and jack-knifed a gooseneck trailer against the cab one time and tore it up. So my question for you is how sharp and how easily this rig is turned and maneuvered with that truck?

@ausfarmer89 its easy to go up hills fast we have a 29 foot keystone travel trailer and with gear and hitch weight it weighs around 8500 pounds we use a 2008 silverado 1500 it tows fine up hills the silverado does have the 5.3 v8 and max trailering pack though
