[Alberg30] Group buy of trailers?

[sousa, stephen (ENG)]

Folks,

I currently use a Dodge 2500 with a diesel/six speed standard and do not
have any issues pulling the Alberg. My biggest concern was stopping the
entire load, the Triad Trailer has electric brakes which takes care of that
issue.

I'm gunna throw my oar in here..... I would tow my boat with nothing 
smaller than a 1 ton truck with duals  ..Also I would look for a manual 
tranny  there is little  load on an engaged clutch. Most 1 tons with 
manual tranny's have a "granny" gear and most likely you will not be 
pulling the boat out of the water on a ramp anyhow.   P.s. ford heavy 
duty trucks with power stroke diesels have had lots of troublewith there 
transmissions when towing heavy loads.  check them out  Also horse 
people that tow six and eight horse  trailers would be a good sourse for 
what works well.  I have towed many vehicles on car trailers with my 
1987 suburban (manual tranny) and would not want to tow my alberg very 
far with it.  Towing it less than 100 miles once or twice per year I 
might attempt with a proper trailer.
