Lets See a Pic of Your tow rig and trailer.

Wow that's a haul. Would like to know what you've done to the gladiator to enhance towing if anything. My sons gladiator overland can't even hold 8th gear empty.

We made it to Arkansas just under 700 miles and have averaged 15+mpg’s.It really handles the load pretty well. It is the eco diesel with 3.73 gears. All I’ve done was put an integrated trailer brake kit in it. I do regret not installing load helpers as it squats a little more now that it’s loaded with tools and spare parts and luggage.

Got a brand new company truck today. Loaded 2025 Duramax AT4. It’s my personal ride and intended for personal use. I might actually get my pile in a trailer one day soon and go wheel.

I’m in a mild state of shock still and cannot believe this is my new daily sled.

That's pretty awesome! I was just talking to a coworker about how I can't even get a company shirt to wear so I was wearing a vendor polo today that I got as a gift, and here you are getting a truck LOL!!!
 
What’s even more crazy is i got a 24 cclb dually 350 last year in October. I pull a machine occasionally to my jobsites and had to get a CDL to do it legally. I couldn’t find the time since I was so busy. My CDL driver buddy at work was upgraded to the Ford.

I can’t even get a company shirt but they gave me a Tesla and installed a charger in my garage and pay half my electric bill. 🤷‍♂️

They won’t buy me a company car, but they said I can buy as many company shirts as I want :laughing:

We had the same deal @ a previous job & the mandatory shirts could only be bought in the company store...my old boss hated red, I bought one & he complained.

I bought (x20) more the next day...gave away my black & blue ones. His face matched my shirts...I'm petty.
 
I had a gen y hitch on my dually and went o buy another one yesterday, but with the funky accordion GMC tailgate with speakers it would get smashed. Had to order a B&M adjustable thing that drops immediately to clear. Arrives Monday. I can’t wait to put a load behind the Duramax and see how it does. I towed dirty (no CDL) a few times post Helen with the dually and that HO 6.7 was an absolute beast.
 
I pulled an empty 15k equipment trailer to get worked on yesterday. On tow/haul when I goosed it a little (11 year old son egging me on) it would break loose and burn out. Fun but I should figure out how to turn the traction control on because with the recent wet roads the AT4 would just eat like an Ethiopian orphan.

If it has Goodyears, they probably just have terrible traction on wet asphalt. Every Goodyear I’ve ever owned has been complete trash for traction on wet roads.

It does, but it’s also got a locker and wants to run. I’ll get new tires as soon as I can boil these off.
 
I bought this truck new in July 2005 and i have hauled 1000+ loads allover since i bought it. It has 169000 miles on it now. The international service truck in the pic i picked it up in Nc a couple months ago. The trailer i got it about 10 miles from Michigan. I have hauled bridge beams i bought local 40 ft long the truck and trailer and beams weight was 39000. The brush guard on the truck i bought it from one of you guys on here from Shellby Nc several years ago.
