Another load from last week

This is another score of wood from the "easy score" I got last week. A good White Oak...I forgot to take an after pic.

This is the last time ya will see the Toyota hooked to the wood trailer....I traded it and got me another Dodge with a Cummins, a 2004, 2500 Quad Cab, had a 99 Dodge with a Cummins..should have never gotten rid of (kicking myself). I have a 91 Ford Ranger 4x4 to get to the tough spots with. Will post pics of the new to me truck, later.

Curious to know how that Taco handled that trailer with any kind of a load. I have an '04 1500 Ram with a Hemi and am looking for a similar trailer so I can put a good load on it. We need picks for that Cummins

The Toyota handled it better than expected...they are tough little trucks. I have had several of them over the years and they always suprise me on how much they will haul/pull. i did stack most of the weight on the axles of the trailer and make sure that the load was not too heavy on the tongue/truck. I do have over 20 years experience driving an 18 wheeler, so that experience helps me when loading and towing a trailer. You should be able to carry a really good load on a trailer like that with the Hemi, you just have to go slower and brake sooner...electric brakes on the trailer would be a great help, just don't load the tongue too heavy....spread the load out nice and even with a little more weight on your trailer axles and you will be okay.


Here's a couple of pics I pulled out with the Toyota..







P.S. pics of the Cummins are on the way...had to get the maiden load of wood on her for the pic... ;-)
