I am doing a pick up tomorrow of I think 6ish 100lb, 12ft long, extruded aluminum objects. So like 1ftx1ft, square, and 12ft long, 100lbs each.
I have my truck with 6ft bed, ~8ft bed with the tailgate down, and am bringing my trailer which is 5ftx8ft.
I did this before with 1 of these objects and put one end in the bed, and let it stick out the back 6ft with a flag on it, resting on the tailgate. But I'm not sure if 600lbs, half hanging out the back, would wreck my tailgate. So I was thinking of putting the tailgate down, which should give about 8ft of bed for them to lay in, with 4ft sticking out... BUT not sure if can still tow the trailer behind it with the tailgate down and 4ft of stuff sticking out behind it..... i'm thinking it'll hit the trailer.... so trying to think of if I can get it on the trailer somehow maybe? but i'm thinking I may have to just do what I did before and have it in the bed, and resting on the up tailgate so it doesn't hit the trailer, strap it down, and hope for the best.
To the guy that said I should have got a bigger trailer.... yea.... im starting to see that lol
