Picked up the new NEO 3 place in-line today. Some of you may remember a few comments about my debate regarding pulling it with my 2004 Sport Trac. The trailer is 2100lbs empty and with 3 sleds and gear would have come in about 4200. It was rated to pull 5050. Well a couple weeks back I found this 2010 Silverado with a 5.3 and the tow package for a great price. Got what I wanted for the Sport Trac so it all fell together. Shouldn't have any trouble getting up north now!

Yes I did. Got there about 11:15 and it was pretty obvious which one was mine :) Couldn't beat the deal, even with driving 200 miles each way and paying the tolls.

Was amazed to see how many trailers I saw on the road heading out of that area as I was driving in.

Thanks everyone. One thing for sure, you'll all know who is pulling that trailer if you see it on the road!

Can you put down your tailgate and clear the jack?

Yep, one of the first things I checked. Have about 2 inches to spare, and could still move the jack back a little if I would have needed.

Thanks Lenny but I can't say I deserve it. I'm just thankful I have a wife that allows me to indulge in a hobby that gives me joy and allows me to relax. If we make good choices many times we are blessed by the results. Six months ago I never would have thought I'd have either of these items at this time, but things happened that allowed me to get both of them.

well that's why I said you deserve it because I know what kind of man you are. I mean you take your son to the snow show and sleddin often. Your invested strongly in family and this is a good truck and trailer for you.
