    Backing trailer down a hill

    Didn’t think to use 4x as the driveway is asphalt and it was dry. Thought that could mess things up. So just 4lo and take it slow nothing should break?

I have found it pretty useful. Does any one know more about it’s limits as in with a heavy load hooked up. Is it just holding...

    How is the GVWR determined 3500s

    I searched for the answer to this but didn’t see anything. Can someone explain how they come up with the different GVWR between the hemi and Cummins long bed srw 3500’s? The GVWR on the hemi long bed is 11400 pounds vs 12300 for the Cummins long bed . I understand the diesel weighs a lot more...

    Getting new truck tomorrow - Any final inspection/request suggestions?

    Don't be like me and assume the truck comes with a brake controller and buy the truck without verifying it has it. Luckily my dealer installed it at no charge after I threw a little hissy fit.

    Well thought today would be a perfect day to hook up the trailer and take it for a spin for the first time. Sunny and mid 50’s today.

    What size hitch pin? (diameter and length)

    My hitch pin for a 2 inch receiver wouldn’t work, so I went shopping for one for a 2.5. Walmart didnt have any. I ended up with a no name 4 dollar 5/8 pin with a grab handle from a hardware store. It fits fine, but the packaging had no specs or weight ratings at all. I’m not sure if I should...
