First Trip Pulling Trailer - No Bull
This was my first trip pulling a trailer with my new truck. Had just over 4000 miles when I left Dallas. Went to Manhattan Kansas and back in 1 day. Around 1100 miles in 21 hours counting the 2 hour layover. Had to pick up my new friend "Bum". Averaged around 17.2 MPG overall. Check out the picture, somewhere in Oklahoma.

Thanks for the help with the picture. Not sure what I'm going to do with Bum yet. You can find anything you want on Ebay ! I thought everybody was just staring at my truck !

I'm on it dude. Think it might ruffle a few feathers if it said...
EAT CANADIAN BEEF? :P
Wonder how fast I could go with that down the highway?

Here's a picture with Bum off the trailer while we rebuild it. Had to replace 2 springs, repacked all the bearings and new seals. Off to the sanblaster, new floor lumber and then paint. Reinstall Bum on trailer and then new marquis signs for each side.

Oh yeah, I held it down to around 65 to 68 coming back and everone gave me a LOT of room. Except for all the folks that hung out their windows with cameras. Truck pulled better than anything I've ever owned. (Last ride was an HD GMC)
