    Looking for Truck/Trailer/Towing opinions on a new Trailer

    Thanks everyone for replying. Still seems about 50/50 on opinions, but I’m leaning towards new truck or different trailer. I’ve pulled in snow and ice, in crazy winds on I-80 in Nebraska, and have done 2-3 mountain passes in a day…I’ve not felt under trucked with my current trailer but don’t...

    Looking for Truck/Trailer/Towing opinions on a new Trailer

    Good point. I really like the Ram power wagon, which on paper has less payload and less tow capacity than my F150, but I see people towing bigger trailers with them all the time. The weight of the bigger truck probably just handles it better than the manufacturer specs would say.

    Looking for Truck/Trailer/Towing opinions on a new Trailer

    Thanks for the feedback, the 23DBS is what I am looking at and that’s great to understand from someone towing that exact model. I’m jealous of your rig! I really don’t want to go diesel due to the cost and the weight and loss of off road ease of use….but I’m not sure the 7.3l gas engine ford...

    The 23DBS is the model I’m looking at. Yeah, if that really is real world weight then it certainly changes things.

    Looking for Truck/Trailer/Towing opinions on a new Trailer

    Good to know with Ford listing mine at 5275, I probably need to go get a real world weight. Are you saying you downsized to the 3200# Nash because you didn't like how the F150 did wit the 4600# bigger trailer? By the way, the Nash is on my list too, the 24B model...but thats 6600# if I recall...

    Looking for Truck/Trailer/Towing opinions on a new Trailer

    Yeah, downhill would be worry #2 next to overloading payload...I have thought a lot about it. The truck is equipped with the max tow package which comes with the trailer brake controller in the cab...so uses trucks brakes and the trailer breaks to control stopping, an anti sway control (some...

    Looking for Truck/Trailer/Towing opinions on a new Trailer

    I have not weighed it at a truck scale, but Ford lists it as 5,275 with a full tank of fuel and all options, but no passenger weight. So much less than the 8k you mentioned. Its the alum body and the reason I bought that truck with that 3.5 eco boost engine because at the time it was the most...

    Looking for Truck/Trailer/Towing opinions on a new Trailer

    Outdoors RV lists the specs at 9,995lbs, so at 12% thats 1200lbs and would leave me ~525lbs of payload

    Looking for Truck/Trailer/Towing opinions on a new Trailer

    I want to run this by the group for a sanity check. I want to get a bigger Travel Trailer now that the kids are getting older/bigger etc. My current trailer is 3,600lbs dry and I have pulled it all over the west (mainly Colorado) with zero issues, most of the time I am fully loaded down with...

    Colorado Elk Reports

    I was up in the north central area 2 weekends ago and it was colder, rain/sleet/hail storms, overcast. When weather broke the bulls were with cows/calf’s, already bugling and pushing the groups around. Plenty of water and feed an every area I looked.

    Barrel cooling fan

    I’ve had a couple like the magneto speed one and a couple others. The chamber chiller that you can recharge with a usb cord has been the best.

    NX8 or Leupold Mark 5

    I have both, I prefer using and looking through the Mark5 HD. I also know the NX8 is probably the more dependable scope. But I have shot well over 1000 rounds with my mark5 and it hasn’t lost zero.

    I need tent help

    Early Sept 2 years ago in an area I was in produced a 2 day snow storm and dropped over a foot of snow. Tarps are good if the weather looks good going in, but I’d be prepared with another shelter option. Agree with everyone above, a 5x7 tarp is too small to really get under for protection more...

    Kodiak Weather?

    I used the normal weather apps and the “MyRadar” app which shows the storm systems and wind patterns. With that I was able to know when to hunker down and when things were good. Who you headed out with in Larsen bay? Editing and adding. The MyRadar app is only good if you have Wifi at a lodge...
