[QUOTE="P, post: 405, member: 3"] So this Clayton run mandated that we use Matt O's HD for a tow rig and pile my heavy junk and his on a big as balls gooseneck borrowed from Brad Bradley. I was nervous, I cant lie. ive never towed with a gooseneck more than from my house to Grayrock and that was back roads and at a blue hairs pace. To top it all off.... I got put on the 2:30am until I couldnt stand it anymore around 5:30am driving duty. Yea real fun for a first timer. Anyway. WOW I can not believe how well a nicely setup tow rig ( read big diesel badass truck ) and a good trailer do. I dont feel as comfortable in my truck with my trailer with 1/3 the weight going down the road as I did with the 15k + we had behind Matt's HD. Did I mention we didnt have trailer brakes and it still felt good ? :o Truly awesome, I dont see me in a bigger diesel anytime soon but man I have new respect. ( I towed a ton of the way back as well... maybe 6 hours straight and through Memphis during freaknic or something LOL ) I cant speak highly enough on how nice and comfortable it is towing with a good setup.
