Gooseneck Towing with the 2020 GMC Sierra HD: How well does it tow??

[@MapBot11]

Confirmed, I did not feel it shift when you were giving it gas.

[@lrizo3841]

*Diesel

[@Denali_Rebel]

It’s weird I didn’t see him give it gas once during the entire video

[@andreprazeres312]

I read the entire Ryan's kzbin.infoUgkxGqOCINHE0Z0E5gxzSdNi9NWGugRY5Hm2 Plans and was able to make a shed plan. Using Ryan's Shed Plans alone, the shed itself is great. Where I wish I knew more is with respect to ground preparation and foundations. Maybe that's beyond the scope of Ryan's Shed Plans.

[@jbll36]

Yes. This should be a build series. Enjoy the day. Ray L

[@c.a.martin3029]

I laughed when you said there's a hill up ahead, I guess that little grade must seem like a "hill" in Illinois. Anyway, do a daily build series again, I actually looked forward to sitting down after eating supper and watching them.

[@RRBuildings]

Lol that was tough and lately I’ve had so much going on.. also it is much worse than it looked in the video but it ain’t no mountain

The camera flattens it out, it's quite deceiving...

[@stevesmart666]

Lol, I was looking way up the road trying to find that “pretty significant hill”, I guess the camera really is deceiving. Let’s finish that hunting cabin :)

[@mesh1248]

Dually trucks are the way to go for constant pulling but are clumsy other wise i find the back end of the dually when pulling heavy loads feels more solid and doesn’t feel like the truck wanting to shift sideways like i have noticed with a dually

[@cleokey]

I have one, they tow,a 40' trailer with my racecar and support equipment easily. I look forward to hills 😊

Hi is your trailer a toy hauler. Am looking for a truck to pull my 32ft trailer. 1000lbs

I have the same truck as you with the Duramax is you'll get better gas mileage after 5/ 6 thousand miles when they are broken.

[@ronbelldvm]

That is a sweet truck, and looks like it will take care of your needs. I'd love to see a build series on that new building. Like others have mentioned, we really enjoy the regularity and the detail. Keep up the good work.

When you put it in tow mode your top right gauge also shifts to trans temp

OK Kyle---The truck may be bad ass but your father-in-law's farm is SUPER bad ass! Hats off to American farmers

Sweet features. Nobody can complain about that vehicle.

[@drewellis9560]

I like your video, and i love your truck. A few funny things though... downshift=upshift. Upshift=downshift. lol. No biggie, but was kinda funny. Also, not trying to be too critical, but i have the same configuration of 2020 Duramax, and it's tow capacity with gooseneck is 21300lbs. So i believe you are actually overloaded by 3-4000 lbs. (GCVW is actually 29700) But the L5P with the 10speed sure handles the load amazing.

[@grahamward9956]

The fuel mileage will get better once the engine has broken in. It will take time though.

[@JoesGoldenGarage]

That truck is a beast. Good flat land you got there. Love the rear cam.

[@jameshorrocks2939]

That trans is inspired by the tractor trailer transmissions. It will skip several gears if need be. It's really a 7 speed with 3 over drive gears.

[@jjsroofing860]

I just bought a 2020 Ford. The camera for the gooseneck won’t go on when I’m driving. Your right about not buying a super duty truck for good mileage. You got the weight your burning fuel .

[@tdmjfountain]

Duramax tuner in Marengo or Dans Diesel in Machesney Park will tune your truck without deleting.

[@davideastman7083]

You better fact check your numbers on those weights on those trucks you were talking about F-450 weight capacity is only almost 32000 lb what's your GMC single axle he'll be lucky if you're getting 22000 lb

[@RockyMountainHiThere]

For some things it seems like you're uncertain but, I think that's what is refereed to as after the fact sticker shock. It does seem like you are happy with the truck overall. It is a good looking truck.

With all the emissions, the engine stays dirtier, oil gets dirty quickly too. Nice truck tho, but these truck prices are out of sight

Thanks Jon... I create content that is based on the most frequently asked questions from followers... that truck is asked about a lot especially on Instagram... so I made a video. Plain and simple

[@atcbuilder9004]

Btw the only reason I mention it is because you truly are an inspiration to me and just about everyone I’ve turned on to your Chanel. This has certainly not changed my mind concerning your integrity, I only said what I did because I believe you’re truly interested in what your faithful followers (and not scoffing trolls) think about the trend they see on RR Builders channel.

[@kidluk]

You are way over your GCWR but I enjoyed the video

[@gungadinn]

Nice truck, insane prices on new trucks though. As for being road legal, you've got the tractor trailer license portion covered. What you may also be required to have is the truck registered with IFTA and placarded with the company name and gross weight registered to haul. They keep changing requirements, but I'd suggest checking with one of the companies that obtains permits for truckers instead of calling the motor vehicle department.

[@dylanmcdonald7765]

Wondering your dislike of the dually? You mentioned having 2 trucks, a dually would be perfect as a dedicated tow rig for your trailers. To each their own, but I love a dually for towing/stability.

[@markarmstrong2592]

Bauman Electronic Controls makers of the US Shift Quick 4 standalone transmission control unit is working on a controller for the light duty version of this 10L1000 10 speed transmission. If it is electrically the same it opens up a world of possibilities to put this transmission behind whatever you want.

[@danielhaartman689]

What if you fastened some wood 4x4's to the bottom of your concrete blocks with concrete anchors in counter-bored holes, or long Tapcons? That way it's a one-person job to load and unload, and you can drive faster since they won't be swaying, or possibly slide on the forks. Alternately, you could just add some wood rings around the concrete block to fasten riser blocks to the bottom, or use some steel banding

[@RRBuildings]

Haha happens... you know what I meant

[@Garth2011]

I'd agree on the Tier 4 plan, mileage is completely upside down with 7 or 8 MPG in a pick up truck Diesel. 10 speeds are better than 4 any day of the week. However, $85,000 for a pick up truck is insane ! My, all of that real estate between buildings...is it that affordable compared to being in town? We couldn't touch that much land to live on in our area.

See you still have the Tele handler JCB on the site- are they still comping you or did you bite the bullet and buy it? I'm not a deisel truck guy, so I don't know much about the DuraMax except what I hear- and most of it is good. The 10 spd auto trans is as close to bulletproof as you could want- know one crazy who built a racing Chevy C10, a '68, 468 BB- with that 10 speed and paddle shifters; he cot the trans temp up to about 375 deg drifting and it didn't get any higher till he quit- he scared the crap out of me two turns in. I'm all better now and can't wait to ride along again! FR

Thanks for your good video and information. Have you ever tried out the tire sensors inside of your trailer wheels. I also have 17.5 tires on my fifth wheel and was wondering if these tire sensors would work over 100 psi Because in the programming mode on the dash it only lets you go up to 100 pounds cold I believe.

You NEVER use cruise control when pulling a load.

[@kw900lkevin]

[@cm01]

@@RRBuildings really makes those tranny temps go up though. Might not matter with a tranny cooler like you have but I was pulling about 7,000lbs with a 2000 Honda Odyssey minivan (so I was doing something wrong either way) and cruise control made the tranny fluid actually boil out the fill port in the top (which must've been loose originally).

[@Garth2011]

We use it too. It really depends on the skills of the driver. For most folks, it's likely not a good option as they won't know how to use it properly when hauling.

[@Garth2011]

@@cm01 Only if you let it shift too much in certain conditions which is when you either turn it off or set the speed to another speed to keep it from up/down shifting too often or simply find a gear and hold it there until the road is flat or conditions change to engage it again. Sometimes it's better to find a gear then set the cruise vs. find a speed and let the cruise shift for gears constantly. Less shifting equals less friction and temps. BTW, change transmission fluid and the filter every 30,000 miles. No modern transmission can last with 100,000 fluid changes.

[@122yamaharider]

Do you not run the exhaust brake

What’s your Rear Axle Gear Ratio between the two trucks? A 3.73’s is Perfect for Ocassionally Towing (1/3-1/2) the time, 4.10 (1/2-2/3) the time and 4.30’s (all the time) and beyond that is ridiculous, you would be Amazed at what you can pull with those first two Axle Gear Ratios. You might not be the first Truck off the Line Towing with those First Two Axke Ratios, but they will get the Job Done No Problem and Still Won’t Break Stuff. Having a Class A CDL and Knowing Heavy Haul Trucks (& Heavy Equipment) and Gear Ratios I am always Amazed at what some of these Dealers Spec for Heavy Haul Trucks, most of them Over Spec Trucks for a Applications then it has No Highway Cruising Speed to it. Your Next Biggest Factor, Transmission/RPM is Next. I’m going to be Purchasing a Couple SRW & Dually’s. The Dually’s going to be Pulling Goosenecks and running with our Semis all the Time. I’m debating between Truck Manufactures currently. It was between Dodge & Ford as the New GM’s are Ugly, but I do like the Turn Signal Camera for City & Highway Traffic in that GMC. Dodge/Ram is up there though, our New Semi’s are Going to have Cummins and I try to stay with one Main Engine Manufacturer, same with our Heavy Equipment. The Look of the New Fords has Grown on me and they along with Dodge both make Trucks Up To 1 1/2 Ton Model’s. Our SRW will be 350/3500’s Due to ReSale and the fact that they will Occasionally pull a Gooseneck Trailer.

[@Garth2011]

With the 6 and 10 speed transmissions, manufactures are limiting the choices in axle gear ratios. You have to increase weight GVW's in order to get a certain option for gears while the 1/2 models have zero choice of gears. Sad...all due to EPA microscopes on particulates/emissions off the backs of the public and against all common sense for properly equipping a pick up truck for the work it has to do.

[@Garth2011]

@ I'm hearing some are getting class 8 engine rebuilds with only 400,000. A friend has a 2008 F450 PS that required a complete engine after 102,000 miles and $20,000. I have always been a 3.73 fan depending on the tire size. I'm with you on the EPA stuff and guess what, the Diesel standards increase again next year 2021 I believe and will keep changing until 2024. Unless you haul 70% of the time or greater, Diesel is not a good choice for those who want value in their dollars.
