So, my girl and I were out shopping for travel trailers and found a deal that we absolutely couldn't pass up on a NEW never used or titled 2006 29' camper. As my boat's been in the shop in slower lower for the past 10 months, I haven't had a chance to tow with the M1008 yet, and was a little concerned having a new 6600# trailer be my first test! I figured since it was only a 40 minute drive, what's the worst that could happen??
So, I drop the truck off at the dealer at 9 AM this morning for them to install a brake controller, install the load balancing bars, sway bars and prep the camper for delivery (all of which they threw in for $0!)
4 pm I arrive at the dealer, fork over the check and say our merry goodbyes. I was more than a little apprehensive pulling out of the lot, but here's what I've found:
The M1008 is an ABSOLUTE BEAST!! Pulled the weight easily, if not quickly/ Took about 30 seconds to reach 55 mph (63-64 on the speedo = 55 on the GPS with stock MILSPEC tires). I was really very pleased with the way the truck handled and performed my first time pulling.
