Will be pulling 2012 Primetime Tracer 2800rld! Dry weight 6000lbs. Got a heck of a deal, $28,000. It is the work truck variety, no power windows or locks. ^6.0 engine, 6 speed tranny, Getting the bed liner, mud flaps, brake controller, and 4 piece bed cover on wednesday. Taking the 1st trip in 9 days. I will post a pick of both if I can figure out how. Tow capacity with the 3.73 rearend is 9700lbs.

I went from an expedition to the same truck and tow the same size trailer. You'll think you died and went to heaven the first time you pull your TT with it.
