Roughly 14k, a CCLB Dually on a 3 axle equipment trailer, no issues with power, but stopping wasn't fun!!!
Hmm....I grossed 34K with my dads 06 F350 6leaker, pulling a gooseneck dump trailer loaded with corn. I forget how many bushel i had but it was heavy! I didn't realise i had that much on it untill i crossed the scales, use to have the slip but not sure where it is now.
Hitting tractor shows all over the place I gross around 28K pulling my gooseneck and 2 1956 John Deere 60's. Interstate speed is usually 75 (speed limit is 70 around here) but over that at times......I can post towing pictures all day long if you wish:thumb:
edit: there is a picture floating around on duramaxforum of a guy pulling a high track D5 on a tri-axle gooseneck behind a d-max, video of it to if i recall.

I towed 26,000 pounds "not grossed" up a 7% grade about 3 miles at 30mph truck had more power but temp gauge was at 225
with 12-13k haulin steves truck we hit 85-90mph up a 6% grade with all gauges in a safe range.
Most ive hauled is 28k gross and could cruise 70mph. whould have to drop to 55 up steep hills though to keep from overheating or pegging the EGTs for too long

Like Kat said, Big Blue with a 502HP tune, towed Casper in a 28' enclosed trailer with spares to Texas and back (2500mi) at speeds of up to 85mph. Total trailer weight was >13k (6k + 6.4k + spares and tools). Blue was >8,500lb with the shell, people fuel. Probably about 22k total weight.
14 000 kilograms = 30 864.7167 pounds
From Edmonton to Windsor. Lets just say I made the trip in the ice cold at 31 hours stopped 5 times for fuel. You do the math on speed. PS each stop was more then 30 mins.

she was gaged with water/waiste and we where to hungover/runnen late to adjust so i just went with it, my biddy has the exact trailer and he says it is over 18,000 , and i we had it loaded with all the camping shit from stagecoach, but she likes to still go fast :woott:
gcwvr when we had our 5th wheel toyhauler was 29,xxx. Pulled it to and form teh dunes 300ish miles each way, doing 70-75 getting 6mpg.:rofl:
Granted, the only thing I can tow now is a case of water.

Twenty-four foot enclosed car trailer LOADED with 4 bikes and everyones gear enough for 8 individuals. Thirty Gallons of 110 octane fuel in the bed,for MY Bike. :woott:
580 Miles round trip MIN speed 65 MPH MAX speed 100 MPH. :rofl:
Ok that was only a short burst screwing around with my buddy riding with me but most of the time running 75/80.

Thanks for all the posts, dang didnt know people went as high as some of you guys! Got this yesterday from a customer of mine he says its 33,640, trying to find out if that is Gross or not. He's going from FL to LA Its a stock 05 LLY with only an LBZ turbo inlet and airbox upgrade. Says he's crusing at 70, that old bastard is nuts hope he makes it back home, might need to see Mike after this one...

F250 CC/SB 4x4 on trailer from Gatlinburg, KY to Cincinnati, OH. 10,000lbs or so. 70+mph most of the way following Merchant pulling a 5th wheel. Found out tow/haul works very well in those mountains.
I towed a PC 75 on a two axle dual tire gooseneck rated for 20k, assuming the excavator weighed almost that. Could not find exact weight online of a metal track PC75 or of the gooseneck. I pulled it about 6 miles with my old truck, RC/LB got up to 65mph with it. :thumb:
