picking up a trailer

[redneck20]

pretty sure im gonna win a m105. will GL let you tow it off with a pickup? i have a raised pintle hitch.
id just rather take my duramax instead of the 923 to save fuel

The D-Max will do Fine! Towed several home with mine, just keep it around 55-60, some like to fishtail...

Guess you already know to check the tires and brakes before you leave the yard...
You will need an auxiliary light set (Magnetic??) for the stop/turn as the 105 will
not hook up to the D-Max...

Yes I knew I could tow it fine just wasn't sure if I would be allowed to tow away with the truck.

Depends on where you pick it up. Ft. Polk brought in right to my truck and hooked it up.

Sounds like Linda was helping you. Ditto for me.

Give the GL? site a call and ask. Pretty sure they would...
Good luck with the biddin!

That pickup will tow a 105 just fine at those speeds, as long as you don't have to stop fast, and then it will push you into the middle of next week. You'll be real lucky, if it doesn't jack knife in the process! I know, there is always this discussion, and there are always Folks that disreguard safety issues. It isn't the towing part, its the stopping part that is the issue!

an empty m105 is 2750 lbs. Most pickups & Suv are rated to tow 3000lb with a class 3 hitch. Under 3000 lbs in most states does not require brakes. An empty m105 is perfectly handled by any vehicle that can mount a class 3 hitch can tow 3000lbs with no sweat on an empty recovery.

Again empty you are fine and the trailer tow like a dream even nose down.

Now loaded and over 3000lb, is a total different animal.

I have towed m105 with cherokee and durango with absolutely no problem on several hundred mile recovery.

If the trailer is equiped with sides and bows, try to take it all down, the wind resistance is terrible with the front and sides on.

Well I didn't en up with it anyways but I'm still on the hunt.
