    Okay, what about brakes? The 7 prong light on the truck says electric brakes. If the trailor is a seven prong plug are the brakes going to work just by pluging them in? Never delt with electric brakes before. I know you use to have to get a control and other things. Need some help!

    Went to look at the 5th Wheel yesterday, come to find out its been changed to a gooseneck which is fine with me. I'm from Oklahoma and even though I got a beater for work, another gooseneck can always come in handy. Called the local Truck Accessories told them I wanted a goosneck,they asked what truck I had, told them and they asked "3/4 or 1 ton". I relpied half, "is it a heavy half"? To keep things simple I said yes. They had one in stock. I Could not believe it. Got there had it put in every thing is good. As I was paying ($450.00 installed hide a ball) I asked you guys put many in 1/2 T's. They said "first crew with the 5.5 bed, should be ok just make sure not to get into the cab you may want to get a slider". Which is like a receiver hitch that moves the ball back in the truck. Check out the pictures, and my bed is not as scratched as the pictures look, I guess it was all the dust? What do you guys think?

    short bed.. :smash:

    i was looking into buying trailers back in 04 when i was relocating back to CA. every RV dealer i went to stated i could not pull a 5th wheel with the SS. so i ask WHY.. :confused: and all there charts stated because of the 6' bed there would not be enough clearance between the cab and the front of the trailer when turning more then 45-55* left or right..the ONLY way you could pull a 5th wheel with our short beds, is to get a slider hitch, which would allow you to slid the king pin plate back far enough to make sharp turns, then slid it forward when you complete your turn. BIG down fall is it's price, and most RV dealers will sell them, but NOT install them due to liability reasons..

    goose neck, same reason, except if you have no front overhang on the trailer you will be good..

     

    good luck

     

     

     

    I'm going to take my truck and see what the boys down at the local truck accessories have to say about it. I can hear it now "you want to pull what with what". Anyway...... You guys rock thanks for the input. Anything else you think of let me know.

    I've been looking to bye a 5th wheel also iwas going to go with a 28 ultra light...

     

    If you have the V-Max package you should have 4:10's. Your truck is an 07 classic right?

     

    The gearing Is going to help you with getting that trailor out of the hole and keep it in the power band up steep grades at a decent mph. Your 2k under the max weight so I wouldnt worry about it. Just try to keep her light and dont load the trailer up with water or fuel till you get where you going. The less weight the better!

     

     

    Thanks for the reply.

     

    Its the NBS and has 3.73 gears. Its the Vortec Max but does not have the optional trailoring package. It came with a receiver hitch, and light hook up factory. Its the LTZ package too. Not sure, I could post a pic of my window sticker? I think the main concern is the shorter short bed and getting the 5th into the cab.

     

    This came strait from the Chevrolet web site (Build your own) I only have the first option thus 3.73 gears

    Looking to use my V-max to pull a 5th wheel travel trailor. Found a 25 foot Fith wheel rated at 6800 and I went to my owners manual and its says my truck is capable of 8500. But I notice on my model, 07 K1500 Crew short 3.73 it says not intended for 5th wheel or gooseneck? Whats the reason? is anyone usig their's to pull Travel trailor?

    Yeah that's a pretty good price shipped free. Here's where I got mine.

    TWC

    I went down on options so I might talk to my salesperson to see about getting them on the NBS.

    The truck is coming today for sure. No sunroof, but it does have LTZ, 6.0, sliding rear window, trailer brake (an extra hole in my beautiful dash), rain sensing wipers, home link, and the safety package. I can't wait. I might go p/u the drop shackles at lunch b/c I can't afford to do anything else but de-badging for now.

     

    Post new pics when you get it.

    I had them included in the deal. With the factory swap 17"s and all terrains they were $1295 w/285/50/20 Coopers. If you're in Texas I can help you out with the place I bought'em.

     

     

    Oklahoma, I think my brother wants my 18's. I still would like to know where you got yours. That web site has them on sale for 280. w free shipping, not bad i thought.

    In order to do that you would have to take out you current bucket seats and install a complete front bench seat, I like my buckets too much to do that, JMO.

     

     

    nah, they have factory center seats that fold down with bucks on each side. Called a "jumper" seat or something?

    I’m looking to change the center console for a folding console seat. Anyone know where I could find one, maybe aftermarket? Searched E-bay and didn’t find anything, and I really don’t want to have to go to the dealer. Any website would help, thanks!

    What kind of V-Max? A 4x2 Ext'd cab w/ performance package or a 4X4 crew cab with just the 6.0L? There are too many chassis options with the V-Max plateform now.....

     

     

    What ever ya got, how did it turn out?
