Project Death Trailer - Lance's trailer

Hmmm....I thought the registration would be based on weight plus load capacity like our trucks.

Rumor has it that the Death Trailer has a official weight........

[KeystoneSmooth]

Besides the two members here that know the weight, does anyone want to venture a guess at the official weight of the trailer as pictured above? Ready to rock and roll.

My guess is 1250 lbs

my trailer was 2k before I replaced the boards.. with the upgrades its going to clear closer to 2300 I bet.

[taz_man440]

Sorry I was out of town this past weekend. 2280 is the official weight of the trailer. 7k towing capacity leaves room for 4720 +/- 500lbs for tongue weight. Not bad! Although Keystone still needs to go on a diet.

Damn I was only 20 lbs off... thats not bad!!! 

now you just need a truck that can tow 7k lbs.

did you do dual axle trailer brakes?

[KeystoneSmooth]

Single set of brakes on axels at the moment. We shall see how they hold up, but fortunately I have a light foot. 

[rjtx667]

with your 1/2 ton and the 5.3l it does not matter what kind of foot you have... you have a light engine 

as long as you don't go too fast its fine... I still want to upgrade mine to dual axle brakes... but its not nearly as important now that i have the cummins towing it.

[KeystoneSmooth]

Unfortunately, I don't even have 5.3. 

But the little sipper V8 has done well thus far. Low and slow once or twice a year. 

[rjtx667]

they made a smaller engine than the 5.3?

no wonder you go slow... yeah slow and steady... that or get a tow strap connected to Noah's Trailer
