A little tip, if you plan to go boondocking, look around for a KOA near where you want to go boon docking, most of them will let you pay a couple of dollar to fill your fresh water tank, and to dump after, so you don't have to haul a full load of water the whole way from home.
@roberthenry9319Ай бұрын
But putting a KOA in the middle of this spot would mess it all up. Don't you think? I mean, most KOAs look kind of crappy. And, the point of this is.....nature.
@bobreighnheart5071Ай бұрын
@@roberthenry9319All I am saying is just look for KOA's near your end destination to fill up with in like 20-50 mile from where you want to off grid camp, so you are not towing full tanks of water longer then you need to. thats all

Half tons of today most use 4 ply tires and the truck is built like a car. I bought a brand new 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 with a stepside bed. The bed being part fiberglass is lighter than metal that adds to the payload capability. The tires came with 6 ply able to haul more weight. I added airload bags to the rear, but my 92 was designed to haul a lot more weight than normal half tons. For me to buy a new modern truck it would have to be a one ton or I would overload it, which will cost $80,000 to $120,000, to me not worth that.

Got a Chevy Silverado LTZ 1/2 ton chevy with the 6.2 and was thinking of doing a 5th wheel. This is why your video came up. Great vid by the way. Just want to put the weight over the axle and reduce sway. I'm not trying to go over 26 ft camper, if I can help it. Of course, the dealer said I could do it but I'm trying to decide for myself by doing some research. If anyone has any info much appreciated.

I put most of the heavy stuff that goes in the box of the truck as far to the cab as possible. Putting heavy weight up that far spreads some of the weight onto the front axle. Same with the rear seat area, heavy weight in that area loads the front axle more taking weight off the rear axle. As I stated in another post one needs to load up and tow to the nearest CAT Weight station. Find out what your axle weight really is, not just a guess...

@captseamus3 ай бұрын
First thing one SHOULD do after they are loaded for a camping trip is to go to a CAT WEIGHT SYSTEM usually at a truck stop and weight it... First: the total rig. Second: the rear tow vehicle rear axle only still connected to the rig. Third: the trailer, first axle on one scale and the second axle on the other scale. It will give you each axle weight. The difference between all the axle weights and the total rig's weight will be the front axle weight. Chances are you are way over weight!! Readjust the weigh inside the trailer to share the axle's weights according to manufacturer's recommendations. GUESSING your axle weight will be your first big mistake that could kill you and yours! Don't Guess!

Thankfully Jayco comes with Goodyear tires which are rated for towing and speed but I stay around 55 max. I have a 263 RBS about 7,500 max weight, well within my tundra tow limits, but my cargo capacity is like 1,300 pounds, which I totally do not understand why it’s so low. These TRD, extended cab, 4x4 have one of the lowest payload of any 1/2 ton. I have a camper shell, and a bedslide, so I’m at my max cargo. If I can’t get this thing to pull comfortably, my next step is try a TRAILER TOAD. $4,000 beats adding $20k-$30k to upgrade my truck. I love my 2026 tundra, only 53,000 miles, looks like new. The only affordable option next in line is a Nissan Titan XD, about 1,000 pounds more cargo. The trailer toad carries all the weight of the trailer. So far, I have some wiggle/waddle in bumpy roads, or back roads, it’s just a little unnerving. Thanks for your honest review, probably the most honest one I have ever seen, and I’ve seen plenty, trust me. I really wanted a 22 foot camper, tandem axle, no slide. That would have been much easy to tow, but we just couldn’t find the ideal setup with theater seats, because of my bad back. I called Equalizer and they suggested ease back on the hitch pressure so need a test run doing that. Thanks

In the past, I towed 11,000 lbs with a 1999 Suburban. It was ordered with a factory tow package. I tuned the brake controller to react the way I wanted it to. I towed in 3 rd gear with a 4 speed set up. 4 th gear was overdrive. I never had any issues towing and felt plenty confident towing with that 1/2 ton truck. I have been towing and driving all manner of vehicles since the 70's. Weight and wheelbase have a lot to do with stability towing and the set up of the correct hitch. Most of the issues I see are with the set up of the trailer to the tow vehicle. Keep the tongue weight to between 12 to 17 % of the total trailer weight, and you will be happy running down the highway or interstate. Drive for weather and traffic conditions and keep your eyes on the road and off of the phone or entertainment center ob the dash and all of us will be safer.

You have almost 500lbs more payload than my PowerWagon. No surprise the PW isn’t a towing truck. I’ve got a Forest River Grey Wolf 18RRBL, small little toy hauler. It’s perfect for me and my daughter, our quads, and a good match for the truck’s ratings. Lots of people don’t care about the numbers and tow whatever they want. It’s scary. I’m out to enjoy myself and stay alive. Great vid, appreciate the honesty and matter of fact presentation.

Half ton trucks can pull 10-12k lbs no problem. You have to get the V8 with the 3:92 gear and a weight distribution hitch.The 4x4 feature actually reduces towing capacity. Notice none of these KZfaqrs that are against pulling with a half ton ever mention gear ratio. It's one of the most important features. Another good feature to have is a transmission temp gauge and and trans cooler Run synthetic oil, it doesn't get thinner as temperature go up. Wind is not an issue

Tows a 34ft, hitch to rear bumper, Grey Wolf toy hauler 26MBRR. 7780# Max Load. 65mph on Interstates. 60mph on highways. DWH hitch professional installed. I made the same mistake as many newcomer rv owners, I bought the truck before the camper. Truck- trailer works OK but it would be better with a 3/4T.. In a year we're buying a new Class C.
