Ive yanked a bunch of other stuff around just didnt take pictures. Seems like Im always needing to tow something. On the new truck Ive got a backup camera for the factory navigation and its awesome for hooking up by myself. No more in and out trying to get it lined up.

I've pulled a good bit of weight... my heaviest didnt get photo'd but it was probably about like pulling that dually, with a bed full of sand LOL

You can tow a good bit with a half ton if you take your time.... but the helper bags will get you in a bind. I bent the frame on my old 2000 ECSB with my bag setup. I had it loaded pretty heavy (trailer) and bags with too much air in them. Hit a good dip in the road and the frame rails bent right at the top bag mount. the bags didnt give, the frame did LOL

Lol, put it on a frame machine and it straightened out easy since it just went straight down. Learned a lesson there though.
