A very jealous new year to you 

Danish_FV270

Can we exchange storrageplace 

4 months to launch, here in Denmark

That 270 has a tri axle trailer @rasbury

rasbury

Ah, no guts

rasbury

Probably doesn't pull it with an f150 either....

Handymans342

And he dont live in Florida either LOL

rasbury

That's why stuff has ratings- truck is rated for 10,000#, trailer is rated for 9990....

Handymans342

No way I pull 10K with a 150

rasbury

If I had to pull up mountains I'd have a different set up or probably a smaller boat. People at the ramps are amazed I pull that out with a 4x2 f 150...I see bigger trucks smoking their wheels with smaller boats...

rasbury

You can with a ford...heck the new eco boost v6 is rated for 12!

rasbury

A f150 today is a 1 ton truck, actually more

Danish_FV270

Trailer is only for storrage. NOT legal for public roads in Denmark.

I know but i like to stay under by 10%

Actually are you supposed to look at the GVWR, weigh the truck loaded and subtract that weight from the GVWR and that gives you what is left to tow safely.

rasbury

We are light people...but yes that is correct. I know I'm right on the cusp. If I were to tow long distance at highway speeds, I'd have a bigger truck for sure.

rasbury

That's correct but I knew where he was going..gvwr and gcwr are different. My truck does really well..5.4 3 valve with 3:73 LS rear end.

I believe what you are talking about is the GCWR (gross weight combination rating) this includes the trailer , truck, people and gear. The GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) doesn't include trailers. 

Yes, thats what I meant. Thanks

I work at a dealership and had a nice crew cab 250 4x4 come in I almost bought and I'm towing once a month at least- could not bear the thought of driving that big truck around all the time.
