Towing
>Are any 3-axle 40' Bluebird diesel pushers safely capable
>of such a task? In a word: Yes. Especially with the 8V92 or Series 60. Keep the rear view camera on so you know it is back there. Don't know about your specific model, but many of our members tow Jeep Grand Cherokees, Suburbans, Hummers, or large trailers. One of our Lone Star Bird members regularly towed a 24 foot enclosed trailer with race car, spare parts, golf cart, etc. (~10k lbs) with no problems. Ernie towed a 1-ton(?) work van full of tools, on a trailer, with his 6V92 PT40, so the weight is not a problem. The hitch receiver assembly on the Birds is 10,000 lb rated as I recall. It is not just the PT models that are capable of this. Many of our FC members are pulling some pretty stout loads. Ralph pulled a 24' enclosed trailer all over the country with his. Welcome to the forum and happy hunting for a Bird. Please sign your posts so we know who we are chatting with. Thanks, Mike Bulriss 1991 WB40 "Texas Minivan" San Antonio, TX --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "Stuart" > > Anyone towing a Dodge Ram 2500 quad cab 4x4 8' bed diesel PU or similar type vehicle 4 wheels down? Weighs in at 6000 lbs empty, has been set up to for towing using Roadmaster towbar rated at over 8ooo lbs. Was originally intended to be towed by 2004 Winnebago Journey 32' diesel pusher, a task Winnebago sales people gauranteed was capable of. Winnebago is too short, too light and Dodge too heavy, steering too stiff, result an unsafe combination. Are any 3-axel 40' Bluebird diesel pushers safely capable of such a task? > |
