I'm looking to tow my raptor on a 35' gooseneck. Trailer weighs 7500. Raptor 6000. Truck is a 05 nv5600 2500 4x4 SRW.

Looking to tow from Texas to California and back. Truck is stock. Can it do it?

it sure can just take it easy. How many miles are on the truck. Do you have airbags. what about your brake controller

I hear great things about that Goerend transmission. Airbags to level yourself and stock E rated tires. I would have to say yes.
Try to pick the flatest route, not sure where in California you are going.

I pull a 14k 5th all the time. 72 mph in od is the sweet spot for it. you wont have any problems...

Im planning on getting airbags. Otherwise the truck will be stock. It has BFG all terrains.

No mods needed. Just keep up with the maintenances :thumbsup:

 

[Twistedcummins]

That's nothing for your your truck. Only thing that's going to suffer is fuel economy :thumbsup:

I'll snap some. I sold my old dodge for my Raptor. Now it's too much of a desert rig to be a good daily driver. Glad to have a cummins again, but the nv5600 is a totally different beast. Not quite the racer the old dodge was.

If you have agressive or oversize tires, they can cause severe problems on long hauls. strongly suggest standard highway Load range E or F if avalaible.
Load the trailer carefully so as not to overload or insufficent load on truck axle.
Too heavy load equals miserable ride. Too light load and weaving possible.

I've never had a single problem with my lifted truck on 35" toyo's hauling our heavy fifth wheel everywhere, or 2 sleds plus a small trailer...

And F-load tires, really? Not saying it was the smartest, but my father in law accidentally ran D-load rated BFG's on the back of his Sierra 2500 that hauled around their 36' fifth wheel for the past 3 years.

My 2003 2500 grosses around 22,000 lbs. all the time with no problems even with the automatic transmission. I just grossed around 30,000 today hauling a 1951 1 1/4 truck and hand railing that I built for an apartment complex. Exhaust brakes are too nice to not invest in if you haul or even fart around town. Quicker warm up and fewer emissions.

It has BFG all terrains.

These are not E rated! That weight will prolly overload the tires. Only other issue would be if the stock clutch is tired.

No bfg all terrains are E rated. I run them at 75 (rated for 80psi) in the rears while hauling for work.

My last bfg a/t were load D. Just sayin.

Also death wobbled like a mother

 

[Twistedcummins]

It depends on the size people! Some are D, Some are E... If he's running 75 psi in them at times I'm willing to bet he has E's.

Im not sure if you have gauges or not, but I was suprised how hot the EGT's were on my stock truck when I towed a smaller toy hauler up a 6% grade. I had to slow way down to keep them at safe levels.

If you are coming from TX on I-10 into San Diego that is the longer way. I-8 is a more direct route BUT...it's a hell of a climb over the AZ border into CA.
