New truck now pulling problems.

[northstar1960]

[QUOTE=Filthy Beast;1216013]Sorry this is "off topic".
Around here there are few secondary roads to drive on. I drive 65 because that is what I want to drive, I am not changing my speed because it bothers others who want to drive faster. I believe there is a minimum speed on the freeways, it used to be 45 mph but I have also seen ones at 55 mph. When they change that to 65 then I will consider getting out or others way.[/QUOT

since we arte waiting for the OP to post his results it's ok to be off topic . like driving in the left lane because the right lane is bumpier and doing 55 . if people would just drive RIGHT there would be a lot less accidents on the road. i mean if you go over 65 you're going die and if you do under 55 you're going die so what's it matter . the biggest problem is the I don't care about others . that's the new American mentality screw the rules screw everybody who gets in my way screw anybody who makes me change lanes . you can see by some of the posts here we have quite a few members like that . forget giving advice . forget posting opinions because what ever you post is wrong . like i mean i will consider changing lanes when and if i feel like it . or maybe when the cop gives them a ticket for driving in the left lane going 55 mph . which is against the law even if the minimum is 40 mph . They even have second hand accounts of cops saying anybody who tows faster then 60mpg is causing all the accidents since they know how fast someone was going after the fact . what a bunch of BS . i've read more made up stuff here then when i listen to Hillary talk

Frankenthread......... the thread that refuses to die......

I think lowering your hitch should do the trick for you. I have my B&W Companion set at its lowest setting to have my XLR 395 riding level behind my '15 F350 SRW. Lowest setting still leaves plenty of bed rail clearance. My trailer pulled straight as an arrow, no sway at all 1500 mi through the mountains to Myrtle Beach last summer. Make sure your rear tires are set at max pressure too, I keep mine at 80 psi for towing.

That thing makes your huge pick up look like a toy , very cool stuff !

I know, but I think the angle of the picture exaggerates the size of the toyhauler a little bit. It is the best pulling trailer I've had so far though.

To the poster so proud of driving 55 max~~

Stay out of western PA. I have a friend that is a state trooper that writes a ton of tickets about speed and over the limit is the least of them.

Driving in the passing lane while not passing
Driving under minimum speed
Most of all ~~ impeding the flow of traffic. If doing 55 or 60 and traffic flow is 65 - 70 and most everyone is passing him or traffic is backing up he is in violation of the law and will be ticketed. He loves these in court as he always wins. There are very few reasons permitted and lack of power is not one of them.

My friend just returned my call ~~ he said he has some known counterparts. One in WV and another in NY. They feel those going too slow are more dangerous than one 5 - 7 mph over the limit.

And now we are starting on the 4th vicious circle of repeats and rehash

To the guy earlier in this thread talking about towing too fast and burning too much fuel.


1-nobody buys a 2500 or 3500 and worries about mpg's while towing.
2-nobody buys a big azz RV to go behind the previously stated 2500 or 3500 and worries about mpg's while towing.
3-If you are worried about mpg's while towing, GO BUY A PRIUS AND A TENT!!!


Now back to our regularly scheduled programming!!!

That is a very nice looking rig!!! Makes me want to get out and shine mine up..... I'll have to sit down until that thought passes

[gilwilliams101]

To Bossted1200,


I now have trailer envy!!! Ours is a 16 Puma Unleashed 351THSS that is only 37' long.


Your hauler is SUPER NICE!!!


Now for the truck, well, you should have bought a RAM. LOL J/K (at least that way You and I would really have the exact same problem!!!)

Get that hitch adjusted but make sure the rear tires are 80 psi cold on those 18s. You should have the Michelins which are the same I had and for towing you want to have the pressures correct. They can come from the dealer at 65-70....

Get a TST 507 system.

And the OP needs to adjust his hitch set up.

That is why I replace all my china bombs with high quality commercial LT tires. Never had a blow out with them. Now my buddy with his ST garbage, yes..... But, we don't lose a lot of time as we can have a trailer tire changed in less then 10 min start to finish. Trailer Aid and cordless impact gun. Boom, done.

I run michelins on my 2500 with 80psi and have no problems

I bought the smallest F150 I could to pull the 26 foot trailer at 55 MPH and it works just great.

Must be fun watching the gas gauge drop as you drive

Bingo! I could not have said that better myself!
My 2012 Toyota Tacoma pulls my 25' TT Beautifully at 60 MPH

Free speech and I'm entitled to my opinion also lets keep politics out of this ( although what you say is true )
We all know if Boosted 1200 slowed down the yawing would be less, I think his question was answered, after about a thousand miles or so the tires will be scuffed in and the yawing will diminish.

I've got more truck than most of you but started towing a TT with a Dodge Caravan. Dance with the one that brung ya. However, if you're having problems towing, braking or with your China bombs because you're going too fast or don't have enough truck, please go off the mountain yourself and don't take me or anyone else with you.

If you don't drive like a Nit Wit, keep your Speed Down with lots of Spacing.
These New WDH's do an amazing job of keeping you Inline no matter Where you are...Not to mention today's new Brake Controllers...
