2010 Heavy Duty Shootout Comparison

Overall-denali-1Overall-silverado-1Overall-f250-1

1ton-diesel-ram-1-560It's time again for our truck shootout. Every couple of years, we have enough all new trucks in a category to compare. Of course it's with trailers, towing up 7 and 16 % grades, drag racing the 1/4, testing brakes, exhaust brakes, grade shifting and fuel mileage. It's a long report with details, graphs, charts and journalist assessment. If you want to know how to judge a truck to tow your trailer, here is the guide on new trucks. The whole story....

The airless bag to prevent your sag and improve your ride! For trucks with campers, trailers, commercial bodies and all other loads..

SumoSprings (the world’s first and only “airless airbag” suspension system for trucks and vans) are manufactured from an advanced high grade, closed cell polyurethane foam; ideal for the tough truck underbody environment. The product underwent testing in extreme conditions ranging from blistering US desert summer days to the frigid Canadian winter nights. Combining heavy loads with extreme terrain and temperature conditions over eighteen months of testing ensures their performance in any similar conditions our customers might encounter. More...

Gooseneck Easy Coupler;

Do you know if your gooseneck coupler is latched?  Bulldog couplers are on the majority of gooseneck trailers for decades. We've all used them and cussed them when we have to pry the handle up to unlatch and teeter-totter our belt buckles on the truck bedrail to reach in and get them latched or at least hope we have them latched.

Folks tell me about what they don't like about their trailers and gooseneck couplers are a popular complaint. I hook and unhook my gooseneck every week, in the rain, in the snow and in the dripping heat.  More...

Liquid Ceramic Insulated Coating for your Trailer and Barn. Temp-Coat®  ceramic liquid insulation can make as much as 30 degrees difference inside your trailer. Our testing was in May, averaging 20 to 25 degrees most of the time. Imagine what July and August would be like?

That's the difference between needing Air Conditioning and not, and not needing a generator to mostly run the AC. Temp-Coat is a green product, cool to the touch. Same benefit for your barn or shop. This is cutting edge trailer, building and barn insulation technology. Summer is almost here and it's about toasty trailer time. Ever ride in the back of your horse trailer on a hot day? More...

Automated Safety Hitch, Joe Jamieson thinks towing is an evolutionary process, should improve issues of safety and ease of use. Now with thousands of miles towing with the Automated Safety Hitch, I understand it's importance and fun. I can take my rig, which at times is 72 ft. long, weave in and out of hotel parking lots, gas stations and switchback mountain roads. The braking steer axle makes it quadra-steer.

It looks complicated until you understand it. The four features that standout the most using this new trailer technology is, improved braking, lane to lane direction changes staying in your lane (turning corners,) stability and jackknifing with purpose.  The connection to your vehicle can articulate vertically for uneven ground, railroad crossings providing an independent suspension. But horizontal movement is solid giving you the safety and stability of a 9 ft. longer wheelbase. The rest of the review...

Battery Maintenance and Pulse Technology Conditioning with Solar can Double your Battery Life. Batteries keep us rolling and give us conveniences in our trucks and trailers. But if you don’t maintain them, you’ll be stranded and surprised. I run a lot of toys from my eight 12 volt outlets in my truck, from my cooler to my motion detector in the trailer. Diesel trucks use two 12 volt batteries for extra power to start a diesel engine. Living Quarter horse trailers usually have two deep cell batteries that can be drawn down and last a long time. With 4 batteries between your truck and trailer, proper maintenance is important. There's new technology that can do most of the work for you. Sulfation is the largest cause of battery deterioration. SolarPulse Industrial Solar Charging System is a product that reenergizes the sulfates and charges your batteries with sunshine, more...

GM Hybrids, 40% improvement in city fuel mileage gets your attention. That's the story of hybrids, incredible mileage tooling around town.

Cimarron Premium Trailer Review, 10 Years to the Top  Even in the current recession, Cimarron Trailers is improving, expanding and zeroing in on efficiency. The factory is staying the same size, but putting out 25% more trailers. There is a handful of aluminum trailer manufactures at the top in premium trailers. None surpasses Cimarron current models. The top trailers need smart engineering, custom doors and windows, top components, strong beautiful welds etc. The result is quality uniformity on all trailers from roof to axles. Where else would you build horse trailers, but the heart of  More...

Trail riding and Travel N Corrals go hand in hand. Easy to take with you, easy to setup. Horses tied to a trailer for hours can cause problems.

Families enjoying each other and security for the horses when everyone is running..... More....

Trailer Electronic Technology for Safer, Easier Connection. EZ is a magnetic connection, powerful magnets. Just get the male end near the female plug and "pop" it sucks together. A tab slot align the socket and plug to match the right connections. The male end has two silicone o-rings, the cables have sealant injected inside, all to make the system water proof. If you can keep the water out, you can keep the mud and all the corrosive chemicals used to dissolve ice on the highway out. Spent my share of nights with a flashlight in my mouth in the rain as I work on trailer lights. See the review....

Melissa's Horse Sense (Melissa Brawner)

Horse Blankets

  “Oh mom, it is just awful!  Those poor horses are just standing out there in the all of that snow.  They are probably freezing!  Can we put coats on them like the horses in the barn?  Please?”  The kindhearted requests came frequently from our foster kids.  Most of these youngsters have never been on a farm and do not know much about farm life, but it warms my heart to hear their requests.  It opens doors for discussion and learning, and best of all, the animals can crack through the shell that develops around More...

The Best Tranny Pans, Differential, and Valve Covers.

Differential Cover on PickupTransmission Pan, GM 4L80E Deep EarlyPML knows how to keep you covered!  You hear me complaining about oil capacity on this website constantly. Now I found a way to add 2 or 3 more quarts of oil to your tranny and differential. The more oil, the more cooling ability, the longer your truck will stay out of the shop and on the road! Pulling trailers builds extra heat in your engine, transmission and axles. You need extra oil capacity and a cover designed for cooling, not the stamped flat pans and covers truck manufactures buy 100,000 at a time from the cheapest bidder. It's up to you to give your truck the longest life. Click for more.

Keep your Differential and Tranny Pan cool with more oil capacity, order now.

New Truck Repair Technology comes to Horse Trailers

If you follow my articles, you know how big a fan of new technology I am. At the new Transwest Truck Trailer RV facility, is an awesome machine called a Road Simulator. Looks kind of like a dyno, but does use rollers to test brakes rolling resistance and balance.  Transwest uses it to test all their new horse trailers so they are ready for your roads. It can find just a torn axle seal leaking on the brakes. It would surprise you how many "new axles" on new trailers are over greased, limiting your trailer brakes ability.  With the kind of traffic we pull trailers in, testing brakes becomes routine. And worn suspension maybe be causing your rig to ....More....

As the popularity of Living Quarters in Horse Trailers grows, they become more like RV's, and 5th wheel RV's are converting to more gooseneck type hitches.

Rollin’ Rollin’ Rollin’ … Keep that Trailer Rolling…’

 By Stephen Louie “Hosspuller”

 One of the worst things to happen with a horse trailer is a mechanical break down on the road.  If you have never been there, thank your lucky stars.  There are... reasons  Read it now....

Stop tire cupping, vibration and premature wear on those expensive truck, RV & trailer tires. Centramatic automatic wheel balancers have been saving money on tires for semi-trucks for over twenty years. Now you can automatically balance your tires, wheels, hub and rotors or drums while you drive. A balanced tire doesn't cub, vibrates less & lowers the tire sidewall temperature from less flexing, giving you longer tire life. 5 year warranty, made in the USA. More
