    Hi Silverado,

    How do you like the load max?
    i plan on buying two new trailers, a short 4 wheel and a long dual 8 wheel.
    What weight rating, lengths, design and manufacturer would you or anyone else reading this post recommend? Especially taking into account where I'm based (San Francisco, CA).

    The only complaint I have is the tires wear more quickly with the triple axles we have. Other than that, for my truck, I like it. It only weighs 7500 lbs and the deck is 26" off the ground. If I had a 4500 or 5500, I'd get one with a little more meat on its bones. :biggrin_25525:

    The Lord has blessed us with loads that keep us profitable and we are thankful!

    Much Success

    Bill

    That would be GVWR, gross vehicle weight rating.

    GVW, is gross vehicle weight.
