rpsinc Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 There is a rig in the for sale section that seems to meet the needs you discuss. Here is the link to the add. It is a singled truck with an automated manual transmission that is set up to haul a Jeep on the bed. Jays truck is still for sale. But at 38' and 72' with a 38' 5er, that is a lot of length. Otherwise, what a great truck for the application. ISX too!! As to Smarts, any other cars able to fit sideways like Smarts? Fiats? I keep thinking about my Dads 1971 Honda 600 car. What a retro look.

Dollytrolley Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 If Dollytrolly has some sort of spreadsheet to plug numbers into, I'd appreciate a copy. Meanwhile, maybe we'll just have scooters that we would keep in the 5th wheel toy hauler. That should keep us in the singled category, just must decide long or short. Sorry to not get back to reply sooner but we have been out baking (117f) and have very little internet much of the time. I would be glad to email my spreadsheet if you would like to do some what-if axle / load locations. Most days I pickup my emails so if yo email me at. Mmcdan3189@aol.com I could send the spreadsheet via return email. The spreadsheet updates live whenever you change axle, load location, or weight so you can quickly play with a lot of variables all in real time. I gotta go get my parka and gloves on because we are in a cold snap at double digits at 98f today........burrrrrr Drive on.........(so......what wheel base do I want to try next) 97 Freightshaker Century Cummins M11-370 / 1350 /10 spd / 3:08 /tandem/ 20ft Garage/ 30 ft Curtis Dune toybox with a removable horse-haul-module to transport Dolly-The-Painthorse to horse camps and trail heads all over the Western U S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickeieio Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Everybody got to have a hot button. This is the one that gets me the most, recently. I know a guy that sent his wife out in the wilds of Alaska, armed only with with what she could carry in their smart. Needles to say, she had enough supplies with her to make a rather enjoyable trip out of her "mission-of-mercy", including a spa trip. I think that's how I remember it, anyway. Me? Are you implying that I'd send my darling out on her own, armed with only a credit card and Swiss Army knife to find help along the Alaska Highway? Shirley you mean someone else.

It will take a vintage car to get any smaller tan the smart. Even the Messerschmitt micro cars are longer than the smarts. One vintage car that would work is an Isetta 300. All 7'-6" of it but the drawback is the mighty 13 HP engine and 51 mph top speed. That little car on the back of an Argosy and painted to match would make a great combo though. 2017 Kenworth T6802015 DRV 38RSSA Elite Suites2016 Smart Prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard she also had her smiling personality, and don't call me Shirley.

wtgeodog Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 The sad thing about the 2016 smart is that it IS NOT tow-able 4 down. Garcia in Albuquerque learned this the hard way. ShortyO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ekim Posted September 29, 2016 Report Share Posted September 29, 2016 Tandem axle, jeep at angle and single outer wheels It works great but some think it is bad, bad , bad. Why bad? Do you have 4 tires on the rear or 6? What would your overall length be towing a 40' 5th wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
