Re: How many miles have you towed in 1 day?
There's a lot of good info above. I trailer to Colorado about ever other year. It's around 1200 miles and we usually don't stop except to pick up fuel and eat. We swap out drivers every few hours. The trip usually takes us around 24 hours.<br /><br />One thing I usually do to my trailer is pull the wheel bearings and Clean & inspect them. I repack them and install new seals. While I have the hubs off, I inspect the brakes. I usually do several brake test to make sure they are up to par. Also while I have the wheels off, I inspect my tires closely for any bad spots or dry rot and replace if needed. I usually carry at least one spare tire and an extra set of bearings. And of course, I pretty much carry a full set of tools with me plus extra engine oil, Ect.<br />I may be going just a little bit overboard, but so far I've made many of these trips and have never had one trailer problem.<br /><br />I go through my truck well too. I service it fully. Usually oil change, new belts, hoses, Change oil in tranny plus new filter, check U-Joints, New oil in differential. And again, Tires, Wheel bearings and brakes.<br /><br />I guess I just don't like breaking down on the road. <br /><br />Your truck is plenty enough for your load. Just check everything out well and happy trails.
