After all my fun last spring with my previous "short term tow rig" thread: http://forums.beyond.ca/st/396766/su...w-rig-options/
And all the fun I had pulling my trailer with that 2011 GMC 2500 CCLB 6.0L gas with 6-speed trans.
And finally, most fun of all, selling that bitch of a truck with more than 400,000 kms on the odometer.
Well, it's time to start thinking about what I'm dong for the summer of 2017. If you know me, I'm a Ford guy at heart. But GMC makes a fine truck, so those are back on the table.
Once again I'm planning to buy in may and sell in September.
So, here are the parameters:
Budget: under $15k
Tow Rating: minimum 8000 lbs (trailer is just under 7000 lbs when loaded)
Fuel: Gasoline (I hate diesel)
Length: NOT a crew cab long box. Willing to entertain supercabs and crew cabs, and the various trucky SUV's like suburban, expedition etc.
Transmission: NO 4-speeds. So for 2007+ GMC, 2005+ Ford Super Duty and 2009+ Ford F150.
Can't have been smoked in, prefer factory trailer brake controller. Needs good tires and no mechanical issues.
We had a great time with this thread last year, let's do it again this year.
