What you need is a load distribution hitch along with a built in sway control. Then you could have shifted that 310lbs excess weight off your rear truck axle and distributed it evenly across your truck’s two axles and the trailer’s two axles which along with sway control would make your truck and trailer handle much better than your current setup!
Garth Wheeler Weight distribution hitch works miracles. A lot of people have trouble understanding how they work and why they are so important to handling on the highway. I’m sure mine kept me alive more than once.
WDH with Antisway, ESPECIALLY when it’s got high sides. A big rig blows by and you’ll be doing the side-sway two step. Anti sway is absolutely critical, esp when trailer weight (including what it’s laying on hitch) is anywhere near your tow vehicle’s weight.
Weight distribution bars would move some of that weight to the front axle without losing stability like moving weight to the rear of the trailer. You would likely gain stability and the truck would ride more level as well.
Off topic question..my diesel started making a real loud rattling sound around 2,500 miles...mostly really low rpm..barely lugging ..never did it before then.they say it has no codes..it seriously sounds like an old idi motor..as soon as it's under boost its quiet..any ideas.i feel it's the injector timing
There is a variable clutch in the transfer case that is used in auto. It can variably transfer torque between 0%(ish) and 50% to the front axle depending on rear wheel slip.
That's really cool. I was wondering how they engaged the transfer case when the traction control kicked in. I was worried that you could potentially shock load the front end if you had the rear end spinning out badly.
This is basically the Truck I want to replace my 2014 All Terrain. Will it start without being plugged in at -20 Celcius? Worried if I'm at a job site and can't plug it in.
I run auto 4x4 when the road road conditions vary from good one minute to bad the next. If the truck senses any slip it will engage the front automatically....
Typically I get around 10L/100 with a blend of city and highway. If I was driving strictly for fuel economy I could probably get it down to 7.9L/100 on the highway.
What is that in MPG'S?? We don't use L here in the United States... I would like to know what you get both Towing and not Towing averages... Because I can't see spending 60 to 70k for something that only gets 2 MPG better than my truck 97 F350 Turbo Diesel Crew Cab 4X4 with 8ft bed... And I would lose my 8ft bed because none of the makers are smart enough to make a REAL Half Ton Truck that is a Crew Cab 4X4 with 8ft bed!! Please send me the MPG'S and how many miles you have on the truck, and test it after you have 20k on it to see if it has improved Towing and not Towing... Thanks
I am looking into basically the exact same truck. Might go with the Chevy instead of GMC but same shit lol. Love the mini duramax! Might need to toss some airbags back there though with that heavy trailer!

with a properly weighted trailer you wont have any problems. I hauled my buddies boat around a few times this summer it weighed in around 7500lbs. I didn't have any issues. Just make sure you have extra DEF

To stop the trail wagging the dog with the trailer move/add weight to the front. The tongue weight should be at least 10% on a bumper pull and 15% on a fifth wheel but I usually go heavy. I would also recommend a weight distribution hitch to help distribute the weight more evenly on the truck but this won't help the sway, you must load correctly. Many of these toy hauler setups are poorly designed and have people putting as ATVs and sleds on and behind the axles. A few inches can make a huge difference.
They've actually increased the service interval to 200,000 miles. This is FAR beyond what 99% of people will put on a vehicle in their lifetime. Still a better service interval than the 80,000 mile timing belts on dozens of vehicles on the market.
Son, That trailer is NOT too heavy for your truck. With weight distribution, the tongue weight will be transferred back to the front of truck and trailer, you could be reducing your tongue weight 300-500lbs. That will greatly improve your towing experience and improve stability.
I love this truck. I will be doing a basic review video soon. Fuel economy is alot better than what a gas option will provide. I will not be deleting this truck. The engine has been designed around the modern emission standards and works great.

It works okay if you have the cruise control set or if you put it in manual mode. I'm definitely having a hard time adjusting. My last truck had the 6 speed allison.

Auto 4wheel drive is nothing more then a crutch for inexperienced drivers. And talk to any 3rd party mechanic that works on them that people driving around in auto are replacing transfer cases more often. I've driven a million miles plus in 4wd in WI andMN and telling you, 2wd is far safer as you don't get beyond yourself in changing conditions. Once you are on solid snow and ice then use 4wd as needed
Your 5.3 will last longer then the 3.0 with that belt driven oil pump they put thats suposed to last about 100k miles my last 5.3 i had 235k before i gave it to my daughter it still runs great
They switched from afm dfm and it's A LOT better bc I had them both. My 19 is so much smoother than my 17 in every aspect.

@@dewaynemiguel3349 The oil pump belt isn't a big deal to change. Ford has been using wet belt oil pumps in some of their ecoboost engines for years with no problems anyways.
Mike Copenhaver You realize it’s not really an issue with diesels right? People have been doing this for years. The issue with gasoline motors is that they use a spark to combust, so people say not to do it for safety reason. Diesels use compression instead of an electric spark.
I disagree. It’s easy to see everything. Basic analogue gauges have worked well for years. The digital ones so far haven’t provided any benefits that Trump the analogue. Sure they look nice but I’m not going to pass on a truck over other features.
That is kind of scary. I never forget the first time I took the valve cover off a Honda lawn mower and found a wet timing belt. Was shocked but I guess the engineers knew what they were doing. We'll see what happens when someone puts too thick of oil in this engine and it's cold out.
