I especially like the way they temporarily adjusted the front axle weight..

I'll have to see if I can find the old Chevy commercial where the truck pulled a bunch of railroad boxcars....

That Blazer was strait at one point too, but hey to each their own. Check out www.caterpillarmiller.com and take a look at the late 30s tow truck he races too.

Re: What has your Chevy pulled ????????

I've got me a big ol serious duty hitch and front mounted hooks... What do you think I've pulled with either? So far... Nothing... lol. Everything I've needed to move around has fit in my bed. My bed has seen plenty of action *wink* but that's about it. But heck, I've not had my current truck for long so here is to hoping I use it more.

Re: What has your Chevy pulled ????????

The guys I work with keep trying to talk me into pulling a 28 foot "pup" semi trailer with mine.

It has pulled a 48 foot Race trailer and a 32 foot horse trailer. The Rear has been beefed up and has been well over 12,000lbs since I have owned it. Sadly I dont have any pics of her pulling =(

Re: What has your Chevy pulled ????????

I miss that red trailer, other than the fact it weighed 9K empty. I loved the electric/hydraulic four wheel disc brakes.
