Pulled a ''lil trailer today... - 9/20/2008 11:08:17 AM    drperry Posts: 3896 Joined: 1/12/2007 From: GP AB CA Status: offline 20 feet long and about 5000lbs It was surprisingly easy to get going! On flat land, it was like starting with my BFG A/T''s on. Up hill... A little more work... But nothing major. Get about 10 MPG @ 55 MPH! 5-speeds with 3.42 gears are rated @ 3900lbs... My clutch didn''t slip at all! Woohoo! Thumbnail Image Attachment (1) _____________________________ Post #: 1

When my brother, blazin97, bought his other blazer, he towed it back with his truck. 97 2 dr 2wd towing a 97 4wd 2dr with no engine. He got about 15 mpg with his. _____________________________ Bill 1995 Chevy Blazer 4WD 4 Door (soon to be 2wd) Lifted Via Torsion Keys And Shackles (soon to be lowered) 31 x 10.5 Tires on Monte Carlo Rims (18" going back on soon) v8 Swap (in reply to drperry) Post #: 2

And yes, it can According to the stickers on it, it can haul something like 15,000lbs. They lent us a pintle hitch, lol. The guy who was renting out they trailer went bug eyed when I pulled up, lol. He''''s the one that said it was about 5000lbs. My boss didn''''t want to pull the trailer in the city... And I needed to test my truck out Guaranteed it wasn''''t any more than that, though... The trailer jack was like 3" off the ground Not much bouncing or anything going on... I don''t think I bottomed anything out, but the road was pretty smooth... Definitely only a couple inches of travel left in the suspension, lol < Message edited by drperry -- 9/20/2008 11:39:29 AM > _____________________________ (in reply to 95_4door) Post #: 3
