I looked for your truck as I pulled in to grab a Pic but didn't see it. Guess that was why. I picked up a cab mount kit for the C10 since I was down that way.

You won't typically see my truck, I get to park inside lol

How wide is your trailer? and width between the fenders?

They advertise them as 82", I'm not sure if I've ever measured it though. I can check next time I'm up there. It is tight at the fenders when loading for sure an i wish at least the dr side was removable.

I dont think you can get any wider though without going to a deckover style. Max dot width is like 102" overall I think.

Im looking at this new 10k 20ft tilt . Its 80 1/2" wide, can get it with removable fenders, has drop axle and is lower(3-4") than ramp style flat bed

It was only moderately sketchy for being by myself. The wireless winch control was the only way I would have been able to do it. Had to constantly guide it an the provided wired remote is no where near long enough.

New daily got a turn as tow pig. I won't use it much because it maxes out at 7500 an I'm pretty sure the trailer an my/a C10 would be around 8500-9k. It did decent with this load (im guessing 4k) but definitely needs a brake controller if its going to tow alot. Was a much different feel on a smaller/shorter wheelbase tow vehicle for sure.

Yep, it was not happy with this lol. Only moved it in the yard though. Its tight where I park the trailer an this was alot easier to maneuver in there for sure.

Yeah I wouldn't wanna tow much with such a short wheelbase. I see guys maxing out NBS Tahoes/Yukons around here alot and I just stay far away from them
