I am just starting to look around. ATC would have my money from what I have seen so far.
48' pace pursuit.

Trailer weight is 8,800#
Payload is 10,000#
48" side door. Can drive the cart right through it.
2 stage landing gear. Not hydraulic, to poor for that
Triple 6000# torsion axles. Rides like a Caddy
110 lights / outlets.
Air compressor, generator.

Just needs a/c and the fold out awning. Gotta slow down in the outgoing cash. Gotta kid due here in about 2.5 months and the C7 around the same time. Trailer mods may have to wait!!

Unfortunately, it won't be a GM product... But it will have six tires on the ground and diesel powered...
You DO need a bigger truck. You're killing that thing!!

No shit. Towing 10k# on a half ton truck is silly. With a diesel you'll never notice that the trailer / car is even behind you. Especially a dually. Gd luck parking that thing at the mall. It's not going to fit in many parking spaces!!!!

I don't build trailers, but I would imagine it has something to do with allowing some degree of flex in the length of that trailer... or it could just need some ironing....

It's only 8K... and yes, the new truck will be tougher to park... but it/I don't go to malls.... and when I do, it's fine for me to park way out...

and the bride unit and I are considering getting a 5th wheel in a year or two, which is why I'm getting more truck than I need right now.... room for growth...

It maybe I F'ed it up pulling it out of the lot. There's a duo at the end of the driveway and when I pull out all 6 wheels go airborne and it rides on the tail wheels. Prob not the best thing to do but hey, they put tail wheels on for a reason!!

I absolutely love this trailer. Car doors can easily open while the trailer is in the load position because the bed is past the fenders. Otherwise, four wing nuts can be unscrewed to remove the fender to allow the door to open. The winch and wind fairing were a factory option.




Nice that is easy
