OK how kept my mouth shut till you said DOZER. YOu think your gonna pull the trailer and a dozer on it with a half ton. Doesnt matter even if you have trailer brakes anything less then a one ton duelly isnt enough even then it might not be enough.

I know where you're going here, but this little Dozer he's talking about, isn't much bigger than Pinto, so I'm sure a 16ft tandem trailer will do it and it he centered it right, and was careful with trailer brakes set up properly I'd imagine he could do it.

Yea and the first time his attention is drawn away and he misses a stopping point by as much as ten feet he kills the family in the family sedan in front of him with his over loaded truck trailer combo.

AND dave you never sad how big the GMC was just youd pull it with your GMC. Lets here the whole story on what the tow rig is.

OK OK OK, let's call time out here. Remember what happened last time that GMC truck got brought up. Let's not even go there, and put the brakes on this thread.

Have you got the answers you were looking for about the trailer and towing Dave???

Who said anything about pulling it with half ton truck. The GMC I'm talking about has max gross rating of 37k and 12k min gross rating.

Are you talking about the boom truck you wanted to restore?
