I like the way you think sir!Tell her you need a JT with a 392...
That's also an option not out of the question but less preferred IMO.I forgot about the trailer...what about flat tow?
Man good luck finding something. If it's not a huge rush I'd recommend waiting till the fuckery ends... You'd get a better deal i'd guess.I think what everyone is saying is definitely where my head is at. I may not tow super often but when I do it's 3k+ mile trips not through flat land and it's going to be very hard on a 1/2 ton safety concerns aside. The wife even mentioned then we could add things like dirt bikes for the kids later and anything else we decide to add to the family.
Now if I can just find a damn 3/4 ton we like in the near future that would be great.
My wife has a gas 250HD and it pulls her trailer easily. It does help that it's all aluminum. Mileage is shitty but there are no issues with it. I also tow my Jeep with it on a 26' gooseneck.This is what I was going to say. Unless something says it's specifically rated to run at it's rating, I always err on the side of caution and try to keep loads under 80%. This goes for everything from electrical circuits I need to lay out to towing and anything in between I don't know anything about .
My wife wants to get a horse trailer to take her horses to trails and wanted me to pull it with my jeep (she doesn't know any better). I said no way. And I probably wouldn't even pull a horse trailer on a 3/4 ton. I want a 1 ton with a 5th wheel. Safety and safety factor to make sure I don't toast the engine and transmission.
That's very similar to the trailer she's looking at. How many horses do you pull? Any idea what the max load you've pulled with that are?My wife has a gas 250HD and it pulls her trailer easily.

She only pulls 2. The bulk of that trailer is the living space.That's very similar to the trailer she's looking at. How many horses do you pull? Any idea what the max load you've pulled with that are?
I did look at several 2500/F250 models. The ones at the upper end of the load rating seemed like they had plenty of safety factor. It seemed like there were some models of 3/4 ton with lower tow ratings. But I won't write them off completely.

Hahaha, I bet I could do a burnout on the trailer with Gruff tied down! Kinda like your dyno vid....HmmmmBurnout video?
Hmmmmmmm.Burnout video?
What would be badass is Gruff doing a burnout on the trailer while the tow rig is doing a burnout...Hahaha, I bet I could do a burnout on the trailer with Gruff tied down! Kinda like your dyno vid....Hmmmm
Lol, with my luck I'd blow a t-case & roll off the damn trailerWhat would be badass is Gruff doing a burnout on the trailer while the tow rig is doing a burnout...
Don’t overlook gas burners either. Half of the trucks I see at RV sites burn gasoline.I think what everyone is saying is definitely where my head is at.

yeah I'm looking at both the gassers and diesels. I've never owned a diesel so it might just be more things to learn as far as maintenance goes. the fact that I'm not towing all the time make gas an equal or even more appealing option.Don’t overlook gas burners either.

oh i can find them, they are just stupid expensive as to be expected right now. sad that CPOs with 30k miles on them are only 2k cheaper than new. Im thinking we might order a new one and wait the 6-9 months. no point in spending new price on a used one when i can wait.Man good luck finding something.

Me. With a 26' u-haul packed to the brim towing my Jeep on a trailer. Coast to coast. Sometimes faster.Who tows at 65 mph
