Show us your trailer(s)

We tow a 2008 Jayco Jayflight 26bh. Last season, I towed it with a 2002 F-150 with the 5.4 (2v), and 3.31. Prior to towing, I added a K&N cold air intake, Flowmaster cat-back exhaust, and another company's programmer~sorry, I didn't know any better:sadface: The truck pulled the trailer ok, but I wasn't happy.

I've since upgraded to a 2010 F-150 with the 5.4(3v) 3.55ls and tow package. I am looking forward to adding a Gryphon to my new truck once they are ready.

I changed out the POS Pintle hitch to a 2 5/16 ball hitch and removed the extra channel that was mounted on the ramps and dovetail.. which removed about 300lbs of metal from the rear of the trailer... It tows great now.... I have developed a strong dislike for pintle trailers on light duty vehicles......
Also added a wireless remote control setup for the winch...

Nice trailer!

Any body know if most controllers have fuses? it seems I've blown out 2 controllers now due to a frayed trailer cable

Hey, doy you know the tounge weight and the gvwr of your jayco? and have you towed it since the new truck? Im looking at a Jayflight 27bh and not sure how much of a struggle it will be with my 2009 F-150 FX4 supercrew.

Here is a couple pics of 2 recent heavy towing trips from Denver to my home, all done in 40HP tow tune with no issues with EGT's or tranny temps, shifts etc

first 2 are about 16K lb trailer weight and the last one is 21K lb trailer weight.
6 pallets of Retaining wall block


4 pallets of flagstone, a diesel generator and 3 wheelchair lifts... and a pool table base...

Dang, thats quite a load. How far did you have to pull it? Do you have any kind of Weight Distributing Hitch?

[soutthpaw]

North side of Denver to South side of Colorado Springs about 80-90 miles.. 21K was pulled at night in the snow with the oppisite side of the Fwy shut down for the Obama's Motorcade. about 20 miles of the frw was on freshly packed snow...
