How often do you haul with your L

[upside]

Well I recently bought a dirtbike and want something to occasionally haul it with.



I hate it when I see lightnings with trailers let alone with stuff in the bed. but the most I would be using it to haul a bike with would be maybe 2-3x a year and it would be stored winters.

plus I would have a nice summer cruiser.

how often do you haul with your L?

What are your opinions on using your truck for utility?

I would justify this purchase as a useful toy.

Its a truck and I haul whenever I need to. You should see some if the dents I have back there...d'oh.

I agree an L with a trailer may seem a little off but cramming a dirtbike in the bed every once in a while isn't that bad IMO.

its a truck, not a sportscar, use it to haul shit

 

[chrisheltra]

Until I put it on race/good weather only duty almost every weekend. Its a frickin truck use it as one.

I've used mine to pick up heating and cooling systems before. It's one of the few vehicles on the road that can hall a thousand pounds of stuff from point a to b then run a 12 second 1/4 mile. Doesn't get any better than that.

I think mine looks pretty good when hauling. I haul my car and trailer 4-5 times a year.

^ that's just badass!

My truck is almost a garage queen. I don't haul most "typical" things in the bed since with the Speedstur tonneau and the bedrug it makes the bed essentialy a big trunk.
I've towed everything from open car trailers, to a fully enclosed tandem axel over 1k miles in a single run. Only one thing with a trailer I will not do is launch/recover a boat (except sailboats since they use a strap/sinking trailer.) Too many horror stories and pictures of people backing down the boat ramp and sliding down into the water due to a lack of traction on a slick ramp to risk it.

i have towed with it several times as well. two dirt bikes in the back and two brute forces on the trailer, it did just fine.

I hauled my yz250 and banshee a few times in my L. Also towed my bud's cobra. Since she is lowered now, no more towing. But i will only put my bikes in back my truck as the last resort. It's a pain in the ass removing the factory bed cover.

I plan on getting either an L or a SC'd Harley truck (essentially a 4dr L) to tow with and haul the family around.

 

[black99lightnin]

Use mine occasionally. Tow's fine. Also my Raptor 700 fits perfectly in the bed.

Nice! I have a 2 stroke kawasaki as well

I want a lightning just so I can haul (that and own a lightning lol)

 

[Ryan]

That was the great thing about the Lightning was the it still had utility in it. When the SRT10 came out it was a joke because it had no utility in it!

i used mine to haul until i bought my PSD , i used it to haul my 18ft trailer with my mustang on it, great ability but becasue i lowered my L it didnt have much suspension travel in the back. great power, only truck ive seen do a burn out with a trailer hooked to it lol

the viper trucks tow/haul fine around my area.:shrug:

 

[fishin-nole]

I just put the hitch back on mine yesterday, so I can use a trailer to go get a couch.:lol1::lol1:

They're made to pull/haul, that's why they came with a class IV hitch! There's nothing more badass than leaving from a stop pulling a trailer loaded down in a cloud of tire smoke. :rockon:
