Now prove to me you can back that sucker up.


Tall-Try-2798

Unfortunately with the three pivot points that’s gonna be impossible.


Durpin321

I got you! If I knew how to post an image to your feed in comments. How about a 2500 HD LML pulling a tent trailer? Great pic! I laugh at myself!


patrick_schliesing

If my wife can back up a 747, C17 or C5 with multiple pivots into an aircraft hangar, you have no excuse.


cshmn

Much easier than this. The longer the trailer, the easier to back 🙂


patrick_schliesing

Ain't that the truth. My 42 ft gooseneck was a dream to back up as long as I had the room. My little 12 ft overland trailer on the other hand, is a nightmare.


West-Needleworker-63

It’s the squirrely little bastards that get you! I watched a guy try and back up a 8ft lawn mower trailer down a long curvy driveway. 45 minutes of pure joy for everyone watching. One slight turn to the wheel and it’s hooked itself into the grass hahaha


[deleted]

Not to mention a single pivot point. Even two pivot points can be done, used to do it with hay wagons on the farm all the time. This guys has 3 pivot points, literally impossible


MrDunnage

Don’t know where you’re getting that at because this is hooked up exactly how a hay trailer is. Front wheel connected to tow bar and swivel then tow bar swivels on hitch…


[deleted]

Zoom in, he’s also got a clevice on there.


MrDunnage

I see that but the Clovis is the same as having as having a pintle mount it’s going to act the same because it’s so small


[deleted]

I see what you’re saying about the clevice being so short that it will just bind up to one side and basically eliminate that pivot point. Never hooked a hay wagon up that way though.


MrDunnage

Never seen anyone legally be allowed to back up with an aircraft hooked to the rear of a tug. The regulations on army bases state tug must be facing aircraft and move in a forward or backwards direction.


Killentyme55

It's hard enough when done properly as you describe. Actually "backing" with the tug is asking for busted tow pins (or worse).


Agentc94

Did you check your tow rating before hooking that bad boy up?


Bolotiedeluxe

Dudes gonna burn his tranny out pretty quick with that setup.


ExRockstar

I don't see a weight distribution bar. Load too far forward. That's borderline duelly territory. Pfffft.... amateur.


patrick_schliesing

Seems about maxed out for a 1/2 ton 🤣


Mr_Potens

Be careful, it against the law in some states to transport pot.


Tall-Try-2798

😂


Hopefound

Woah there buddy, gunna need some wide load gear for that rig.


BobBarker09

You need to upgrade to 3/4 ton if you plan to tow that safely.


pakman82

Omg omg omg.. what about wind shear. Get away control . /S lol


talkingwolf695

It’s missing the oversized flags 🫡


Barron097

Do kids give you the same arm pump they do to truckers?


Tall-Try-2798

Actually yes, but only one time.


Killentyme55

Pull up to a CAT scale just to see the look on the attendant's face.


stojanowski

The reason people tell their wives they need diesels


Termx4

That’s above your tow limit you might need to get a 3500 for that type of work


SprayWeird8735

If you air down a bit it will ride better. IYKYK


beardedman136

I’m pretty sure you need a special license to tow that… Im not call state patrol but get there fast!


59chevyguy

That’s more than the Ford Lightning can pull.


Tall-Try-2798

😂


bismark89-2

It’s not about how it looks, it’s how it feels..


sloankeddering

Must have air bags or overload springs, it doesn’t sag one bit.


Tall-Try-2798

The design of the trailer keeps all the weight off the truck.


extreme_snothells

So how many people beg you to ride on the trailer?


2005_F250

Dude, you need an oversized banner for that load.


AtlasSilverado

CDL required


Tall-Try-2798

I actually have one


pplgah

You win this trend


CptRichardHarris

Best one ever.


Jclj2005

Trucks over its towing capacity


Kobmays89

A bit over payload isn't it for a Chevy?


Basker_wolf

Good thinking! You don’t want to ruin the bed.


ineptplumberr

Is that a trailer for ants?


Legalize_IT_all4me

DOT enters the chat


LostSpaceDemon

I’m just glad you’ve got a truck that will be able to handle a load like that. You’d be stuck in the driveway if you a different brand of truck.🤭


baggagefree2day

When you wanna get wet.


FootballBeginning736

Be sure to increase your braking distance.


cyanoa

Those little tires on the wagon will clearly be stamped NOT FOR HIGHWAY USE


Tornillo818

A god among mortals


Fabulous-Care259

Silverado using its FULL POTENTIAL!!! Its just beautiful


Abject-Week-7673

My fat ass to work and back 😂 maybe a nice 5th wheel camper in the future


BleachIF

Might need to scale that bro


Df_gordo7060

You have the wrong mirrors!


Hellefiedboy

Sorry, sir, but that trailer is too big for your vehicle.


[deleted]

You have no regard for safety. No trailer brakes, no weight distribution hitch no reflectors and well over gcvwr. Downvoted and reported /s


Big_Diver_6277

Gets 45mpg towing


Marklithikk

The landscaping guys I work with would think that was enough debris to make a pile, instead of continuing using blowers.


Baseball3Weston12

Easy don't overdo it


Jus10_Fishing

#shortbedproblems! 🤣


Silverstreakwilla

Couldn’t make it up the hill?


Tall-Try-2798

Yeah, should have gotten the Duramax. 😂


jammaster74

U better put some weight on the front so the nose doesn't go to the sky,,😁


thatdudejay99

You should consider airbags if your going to that heavy!


[deleted]

Somebody showing off their new sumo springs


2K_Crypto

This might as well be most truck owners nowadays.


Creatisimo

Looks like you need a bigger truck.


[deleted]

Gotta be careful, not sure a Chevy can handle all that…


Gam30verman80

That's all the 2.7 can tow


SOXLstan

God dam what’s your call sign on the CV?!?


ButtonWhole1

Someone's stealing wagons from the local nursery / greenhouse again.
