Yes it is very long, we bought a 2022 Jayco Precept 36C which is 38' long and our toad that we have is a 2022 Hyundai Venue a friend of mine gave me a Camco Kar Kaddy SS tow dolly, this is the reason I am using a tow dolly instead of flat towing.
Our plan is to go back out again because the only time we had it out is when we bought it and right after we bought it we went back to the campsite in ID but we didn't have the toad then but now we have it. Yes, this is going to be long, I think I can handle it I drove trucks in the military and I drove the school bus in high school, lol, back in 1970.
I would post up some pics, but I don't want to high jack his thread. This is funny I reply to my own post, lol.Last edited by Spartacus; 07-30-2022 at 10:17 PM.

Short bed
. I have a 375 Res and pulled for awhile with short bed 2001 , 3/4 ton. I hade regular fifth wheel hitch, and was ok till I had to turn Sharp. It was a sliding hitch so had to release for Sharp turns. That trlr. Is probably to heavy for just 2 tires on the back of your truck. My 375res was, so went to a dually

Thanks for the warning. However, I am not new to towing and my truck has 37x12.50R17LT D 124Q Nitto Ridge Grapplers that are rated at 3525 lbs per tire at 50 psi. When combined they have a higher carrying capacity than the 7000 lb rating of the Dana M275 1-Ton Axle on my SRW truck.
With an empty hitch weight of 3052 lbs, I do not think my TIRES will be an issue.
EDIT: And to clarify, there is a lot of difference between a modern 2021 Ford F350 Super Duty Diesel compared to your short bed 2001 F250.Last edited by TxGD380FL; 08-03-2022 at 07:10 PM.

Neither. It is just a fact that 37/12.50s will put more strain on just about everything on the truck. A 2500/3500 SRW makes an excellent platform for such mods vs. doing the same on a 1/2 ton. But once you do that, your truck should be derated for tow duty. The amount of force those big tires impart on the truck simply makes it less capable. Wheel bearings, ball joints,U joints, brakes, transmissions Ring&pinion,motor etc. all will see more stress.
How much weaker will it make your truck? That can be debated, but it will be less capable, and that is just a fact.
I have no problems with doing such mods, and I even own a lifted truck... But I do not tow with it.
I was in a 4X4 shop one time waiting my turn at the counter. The person in front of me was complaining about his lifted truck needing brakes every 5000 miles. The shop employee told him flat out. "You need to put it back to stock if you want that truck for work".Last edited by huntindog; 08-03-2022 at 07:41 PM.
