HD Chevy 2500 LTZ, Duramax and 6-speed Allison
Auto, Hard to Beat.
All the toys, if you're not use to the
ride of a HD, you might think it harsh. Yes compared to a Cadillac but
for HD pickups, it's a nice ride. Center console is more accessible as
it slants out for easy reach of controls. Buttons for volume under the
steering wheel, remote start, starts instantly, so quiet, you think it's
a car. Exhaust brake is great and works seamlessly with the Allison
auto, but the light on the switch is hard to see if it's on. GM went

New features with EZ-Connector;
they've always come with dummy plugs to keep the connector ends
clean and give you somewhere to store your trailer plug. Well
now the female end comes with a self-closing door instead of a
dummy plug and the storage end for the male plug has a
self-closing door. The truck end (female plug) door has an

 Ford
F150 EcoBoost:
The power is fun like the F150 Lightning of the nineties. Twin
turbo's with no turbo lag, instant power, brings looks from the
muscle cars I pass. Of course you want better fuel mileage, but
when you need to get up to speed on an on-ramp or pass a semi
uphill, the acceleration adrenaline rush takes some of the pain
out of the monthly payment. The first 3000 miles have averaged
18 mpg. That's in the Rockies, the 7% grades on I-70 at Vail
pass, towing a horse trailer at the base of Pikes Peak and
across the long grades in Utah in a snow storm.

  Finally
ABS brakes for trailers !
Fast, smooth and safer than any
brake system we've tried. We took our test trailer to the race
track, smoked the brakes, burnt the seals and proved how
dramatically superior hydraulic disc rotors, electric-hydraulic
actuators, ABS modules and a trailer brake controller that
networks with your trucks computer can be. Electric brake drums
didn't stand a chance in our side by side comparison. A big step
toward safer trailering on our crowded highways and
unpredictable weather patterns.
Share this detailed report about the difference ABS trailer
brakes can make. |
  Express Corral,
More Room, Easy Setup System
New!
Up in fifteen minutes, down in 10. It's a
nice kit that comes in a diamond deck plate
aluminum storage box. 6 inches wide,
will fit on running boards, fenders or put
it in your trailer or truck. You can use the
aluminum storage box on the ground to power
the electric corral. Very portable, you
could use it to selective graze, night
corral on pasture and fence off trees and
hay stacks when you're not using it with
your trailer to camp on trail rides.
You can hook several Express Corrals
together to camp with lots of horses
separate or together. The posts that come
with the kit are insulated with multiple
clip heights so you can use it with full
size horses to mini's.

 Grand
Cherokee Limited and Featherlite Trailers: Cherokee's
have always been fun to drive. That's why I write, to have fun
on the road. This all new re-designed Grand Cherokee Limited is
as loaded as it gets. The new design is slightly larger with
more room inside, but hasn't lost the sharp looks or off-road
ability it's famous for. The Grand Cherokee has many off road
controls like Land Rover. Push button start, you can keep the key in
your pocket. Fun to drive, who wants to make payments on a
vehicle that is boring. We towed a Featherlite horse
trailer. Featherlite
Trailers is one of the few companies that started the aluminum
horse trailer craze that's still strong today. Aluminum
lasts, looks good for decades. If Featherlite didn't change the
graphics from time to time, you wouldn't know a 20 year old
trailer from a one year old trailer.

  Step
Above trailer ladder. I've
said it before, most folks don't use their hay racks. Mainly
because it's too hard to get to. A big share of factory hay rack
ladders don't cut it. Too narrow, flimsy or just plain scary.
Step Above is a slide-out aluminum ladder that makes the roof of
your trailer an easy trip and safe. Having the right angle
slanted away from the trailer takes the work out of climbing a
ladder just like your step ladder you use around the house. Step
Above slides out to the ground, just the right slope for
climbing.

  Titan
Trailers Ruff Neck Flatbeds make the grade;
I've used flatbed trailers more that any other type
of trailer. Hauled hay,
wool, tractors, buildings etc. When I was in the custom haying
business, I'd put a tractor with loader hooked to a big round baler
on my flatbed and put up hay all over Colorado. I like Titan Trailers, made in Kansas with lots
of iron. The Rough Neck's we used in our "2011 Heavy-Duty Hurt Locker Shootout
Truck Comparison were tested with nearly 10 ton's of bricks,
right at the maximum capacities
of the new one ton Ram, GM and Ford dually's.

 Gooseneck Easy
Coupler;
Do you know if your gooseneck coupler is
latched? Bulldog couplers are on the majority of
gooseneck trailers for decades. We've all used them and cussed them
when we have to pry the handle up to unlatch and teeter-totter our
belt buckles on the truck bedrail to reach in and get them latched or at least
hope we have them latched.
Folks tell me about what they don't like
about their trailers and gooseneck couplers are a popular complaint.
I hook and unhook my gooseneck every week, in the rain, in the snow
and in the dripping heat.

Up and down steep grades are stressful on
brakes, transmissions and nerves. All new
diesel pickup trucks have grade shifting
automatic transmissions and exhaust brakes.
Grade shifting transmissions while in “tow

you are going down hill, when you apply the
trucks brakes. The goal is to save
your truck and trailer brakes. Diesels with

 is
the best known name in trailers.
Featherlite is the first aluminum trailer I can remember seeing. Back in the
seventies, gooseneck trailers were the new thing. And since 1973,
Featherlite is still ahead of it's time. They stood out then because of the
exceptional quality and uniqueness just as they do today. We are very proud
to have
Featherlite

builds. From the famous horse and stock trailers to car, cargo, dump and
motorcycle trailers.

Trailer Electronic Technology for Safer, Easier Connection.
EZ
is a magnetic connection, powerful magnets. Just get the male end near
the female plug and "pop" it sucks together. A tab slot align the socket
and plug to match the right connections. The male end has two silicone
o-rings, the cables have sealant injected inside, all to make the system
water proof. If you can keep the water out, you can keep the mud and all
the corrosive chemicals used to dissolve ice on the highway out. Spent my share of nights with a flashlight in
my mouth in the rain as I work on trailer lights.

25 to 50%
longer tire life. Stop tire cupping,
vibration and premature wear on those
expensive truck, RV & trailer tires.
Centramatic
automatic wheel
balancers have been saving money on
tires for semi-trucks for over twenty
years. Now you can automatically balance
your tires, wheels, hub and rotors or
drums while you drive. A balanced tire
doesn't cub, vibrates less & lowers the
tire sidewall temperature from less
flexing, giving you longer tire life.
