"Change of gears"

Borrowed another buds truck - Ram 1500 with Hemi. I'm good to go and expect to barely feel the 196 behind me :grin:

Thanks for all guys. I'm driving from Ottawa, ON to Akron, OH and back again ... details of boat will follow ...

No sagging, no problem pulling the rig for over 8 hours yesterday ... I am the proud owner of a 2007 CC196 Limited

Wow! Nice.

And I can tell you that tandam axle trailer weighs more than 1500 lbs! I'm glad you lucked into that tow...even though it IS a Dodge.

Thanks. No question that the trailer weighs more but with the big arce truck I didn't think twice about the long haul ahead. After approx. 17 quality hours driving over 2 days, I can honestly say that the Dodge was a pleasure to drive and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it for similar purposes. That said, my grocery getter has similar power to the hemi and is far more enjoyable to drive ...

RE: Re: RE: "Change of gears"

For the record the tandem trailer wasn't the original trailer I was getting. I was given a choice betweein a Ram-lin single axle and the Eagle shown in the pic. IMO, the Eagle was superior in several respects and for the same cost, I went with it.
