    Stock trailer load with a half ton

    Unless they have a dually, most people have crew cabs with short beds around here. We have allot of people who haul their 5th wheels with their short beds, but they can be adjusted when manovering. The feather lite does taper at the nose that helps. I can do 90% with the truck and trailer to...

    trailer floor

    Mats are always good; if you do not want to go with the mats use shavings or chips, a 6 to 8 inch deep layer soaked and pact down help them with traction and makes clean up easier.
