MI173 Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I plan to pull a 27’ snowmobile trailer, it’s 46 degrees outside right now, starting to get a little anxious about the commodity holds. My order is a priority code 2 and looks like I’ll be held up on spray in liner and 3.55 axel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbushardjr Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I don't have one yet, ordered a 2022. It will tow our fifth wheel camper (Wife wants a bigger one than we have now), Snowmobile trailer, Gooseneck trailers, and the fish house I want to buy in a year or two.

WE had 3 on order, ALL had 3.55 and spray in liner.. 1 truck was received BEFORE scheduled build day...The 2nd SHIPPED before the build day... and the 3rd shipped 3 days after the scheduled build day.. SO, don't let those commodity issues worry you.... NOW, IF you said you had the Adaptive Steering, I would tell you to worry.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly trips here in MO, but we've taken it to Michigan, Ohio, South Dakota, Indiana and Colorado. Hoping to go to Glacier National Park next year. We have the same 5th wheel!! Very nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's where the current commodity hold is on axles, 3 of the 4 ratios of the ELD aren't available, as of a couple days ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane60 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 When it comes it won't pull anything for about 6 months other then the ATV in the bed. Our 31' fifth wheel is going into storage after this weekend and won't be coming out until April. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to go south, we usually drive to Florida for a week in the winter but I'm in canada and the border is still closed to us. Also I can't work from home, not until heavy equipment can be operated remotely haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Bob We had not planned on getting the cart before we had the horse to pull it but the right trailer and the right deal presented itself so we had to jump on it. Just can't pull this trailer with my 2005 F150 STX with 4.6L. We are loving the Jayco although we have not had the opportunity to travel with it yet but it seems to check all of the boxes for us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangers09 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 We tow a 2013 41' Redwood FL - 16,500lb GVW, with 3,500 lb+ pin weight. Upgraded the trailer brakes from electric drum to hydraulic disk and the suspension to Lippert Centrepoint in 2016. Huge inprovement. Started with a 2013 F-350 Lariat SRW 6.7 CCLB 4x2, then upgraded to a 2016 Lariat DRW CCLB and now have a 22 F-450 on order. Great coach for our home away from home.

road turtle Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 This was our longer term retirement plan, didn't expect to pull the trigger for a couple more years, Covid basically pulled everything ahead. I'm still working, albeit from home. We didn't kill each other in a 19' TT, so that was good. We ordered the 5th wheel sight unseen. I'm very pleased with it. We leave in another month for 4 months to FL. Taking our first real vacation in years to key west, and then to our winter location near Tampa, where I will continue to work from home. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
