Dang that is sketchy as F&%K, I would have moved the red truck up a couple of feet. I got a ticket for doing something similar to this in Euless TX. Demoed a concrete pool deck and needed to take it to the recycler. Wrote me 3 tickets for (truck bed overloaded) (trailer overloaded) and ( combined overloaded) $1200 later....learned my lesson.
Just rent a dump trailer 🤷🏻♂️ And it's safer to place a tarp over your load...specially since you were driving at highway speeds...hope you don't do it again ...good thing you made it safe to your destination
Good video. Thanks for the insight. I am looking at getting the new 2024 HD when they come out. Looking at the gasser, not sure about the diesel. They do have diesels where I'm at slightly more than the gas counterpart.
@@TCNW22 How often and weight is a question. I went from a 2015 1500 to a 2020 2500 6.6 gas and love it night and day. I dont plan to tow more than 10K, maybe 12K fith wheel down the road once in a while. I have 60K on mine and so far no issues. I choose gas for the simplest design, and Im not towing day in and day out heavy. 3-4 times a week I pull a 7K enclosed trailer with a compact tractor inside and it pulls/handles like a dream. GM did a great job on the 6.6 Gas over the 6.0. For my uses the fuel mileage wasn't that different. the 1500 did 18-20 with summer tires, 15-16 with winter tires sometimes 14 if Im idling it long. The 2500 does 15/16 with summer tires 13/14 with Falken Wildpeaks in the winter. My buddy and I just did a trip to PA to pick up a 2 new trailers 3K empty with his Duramax 3500 2021. He got 10-12 mpg, I got 8-9. We were doing 70-80mph. For the price of diesel and that minimal increase in fuel milage Ill stick with my gas until I get over the 10k daily limit.
I realize how off the charts that test was, but very interesting and you put yourself out there. Thanks. Do you care to comment on any oil consumption issues you may or may not have?
It looks like you like to party! The trailer axles were at their weight limit with the empty truck on it. Then you proceeded to put 4000 lbs. more on it! A brave move on your part. As for the 2500, it probably has a cargo capacity of 2800-3000 lbs. You only exceeded that by 5500 lbs. or so. Again a brave move on your part! Does brave equal smart? Not so much. I'm glad luck was with you.
Yeah I was looking at this going wow he overloaded a truck that was on a trailer that was already close to overloaded. Then put the truck further back on the trailer only increasing the amount of sway it would see and then overloaded the the white truck too. I’d bet money he didn’t buy 10 ply tires either. With 6 tons of gravel a 2000lb trailer, a 4500lb truck he has exceeded the weight limit of the truck by probably 2500-3500lbs exceeded the load limit of the red truck by at least 2500lbs, the load limit of the trailer by 2000lbs and the cargo limit of the white truck by at least 2-3000lbs not too mention the load limit of the tires. So smart.
Is the 6.6L Gas better than the 6.6L Duramax? Will a 6.6L V8 tow with a landscape and a dump trailer pretty good or do I need the 6.6L Duramax to tow my landscape and dump trailer? Which one should I get?
The gas won’t pull better than the diesel. Ever. The diesels are making 1000+ft lbs of torque. That being said the gas HDs will hold their own. Sounds like for your application a gas 2500 would be plenty.
Gas truck would be perfectly fine. My father has a 22’ custom with a 6.6 gas, while he doesnt tow landscape trailer he owns and operates a fiber optics company, 16 foot trailer, a big case trencher tons of tools and cable/pipe and it doesn’t struggle at all. Averages 11mpg’s, truck sees lots of hills and tows amazing
The trailer needed the weight placed more forward. Glad you made it safe
You are insane taking that on the highway. Glad you didn't get into an oscillation and flip it over.
I was waiting for the tail to wag the dog! Glad you made it.
Truck did good.2024 2500 will be next truck
There’s no way you put 8000 pounds in the bed of that white truck
Of course you can, you need knowledge.

If you’re going to be towing, diesel is better for that.

You’ll be one of the first to use the new 10sp instead of the ancient 6sp on the gas trucks because they are gonna get a transmission upgrade in 2024.
@TCNW22 I literally have both Gass and Desiel they both tow good but Desiel has more torque
If my buddies 08 6.6 duramax diesel tows 28000 lbs plus i hope this truck can tow 20000

That Chevy is 🍒
Can you make part 2 of the car please, if any problems couple months after

Do not load your trailer that way!… the only reason it’s working like this is all the weight in the bed

@@user-wt9jf7bc4swhat about for a gooseneck 3 car hauler
GM deisle having a ton of reliability issues spinning timing gears damaging engine
do you need a CDL for the long trailer with 3 cars?
This has got to be one of the most gringe videos ever. I like how you say we want to be safe . Then pull a truck and trailer around, over loaded.
😂 you understood the assignment
Seems to tow fine. What year truck was the white Chevy ? Is it 6 or 10 speed tranny ? Thanks
6 speed tranny, 2020+ have the 6.6 gas
@@user-wt9jf7bc4s not bad for 6 speed. Looking into buying same truck 2500 ltz or ZR2. Looking forward to the 10speed now. Hopefully it’s a good setup
How many miles on truck now?
What's up with a finger? Usually it's Muslims who do that all the time
Why didn’t you just go borrow an excavator from a local job site on your trailer.
wow
Good bye leaf springs both trucks
its dangerous to have 4000lbs at the rear of the trailer ..... jacks up your trailer stability very bad
Unnecessary bullshit. Totally abusive to the red truck.
