Tow vehicle
I have a decision to make and would like some help from the members. I currently have a 32' Pace tag type trailer (an extra foot high) and with everything loaded, including the dragster, it weighs about 11,000 pounds. I am currently towing it with my F-250 HD (5.4 auto) and need to get a new tow vehicle more suited to the job. My current truck tows it OK as long as there are no head or cross winds but throw in some wind and it gets a bit shakey. I need my truck for work, so I can't get rid of it, although I could sell it and buy a 1 ton dually. I looked at a motorhome but am having trouble finding one that can handle the weight. Now for my question:
Has anyone towed a trailer like mine using a tandem highway tractor? I am looking at a Peterbuilt with 40,000 rears and am wondering if the stiffer suspension would be hard on the trailer and it's contents? There are a lot of good used highway trucks for sale out there at less than $20,000. I can register and insure it privately. I figure, if I buy the truck and put a flat deck on it for now, I could add a toterhome later. Any input, ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
