Gooseneck trailer tips

FWIW, I just installed the Corsa cat back on our 2015 1500 with the 6.2 and we've gotten complements on it every time we drive it. Not too loud, but enough to know it isn't stock.

This is the video that sold me.



Fit and finish was excellent, and installation was a breeze.

Nice set up Greg!

Works for me!


LOL


This is one of those decisions that a guy really wrestles with. We all know that the bigger towing capacity of the 3/4 ton, and up, trucks work better... and no question the diesels are "the" towing choice. Having said that.... I live in a tiny little town - and my daily driving is from home to the Starbucks... "Town" consists of about 4 square blocks. Much of the winter - morning temps begin with a minus sign. The thought of firing up a diesel - coasting downhill (my house happens to be the highest spot in the entire valley) in to town - letting it sit for 45 minutes - and heading home.... what a friggin' waste.

If I am heading to Cali to one of the three track events I run per year... and I break down. I'll just call Lillard and he'll come get me.

I'll use this truck once or twice - and if it sucks - it'll go on down the road and I'll buy something else. This is about the 60th NEW vehicle I've owned. Apparently I'm not married to any of them.

Randy! That sounds perfect!


I'll tow once or twice to see if I'm keeping this truck - and if I am - I'm ordering that system. THANKS!!!

nice set up Greg (like I would expect any less)
My 2014 GMC 1500 with a 5.3(lt1 base) tows my all steel 26' trailer with my 3800lb C10 in it fine. I don't even have a stabilizer hitch or MANILY TIRES YET. the only issue I have is that it only gets 7-8 mpg and some of the hills in I15 slow it down pretty good. but it actually rides great. if I had planned to tow more often I probably would have done the 6.0 l motor. it probably wouldn't be much different and would use more fuel when not towing.

Wait just a gawl dang minute....you sold the Jeep? Between that and the Bobcat your around town needs seemed to be satisfied. I know you've got a lot going on but, come on man!
When you go to get the mirrors, get the $60k ones that come with a 3/4 ton.



Anyone want in on the over under for Gregs next new truck? I say new truck within two major pulls with the cute lil half ton.

Save your energy and come help me load 200 cases of wine in the new trailer this weekend. Finally going to empty the wine storage there and bring it home here.

Hmm, let me check my schedule....yup, I'm available. Shoot me the details as far as when and where and I'll be there. Just an FYI, I don't own a blazer, a tie or shiny shoes.

Maybe we can go truck shopping!
