I wonder how many pins I could fit in here....28’ long, 6+ extra inches of headroom, 10k load rating.
And yes, I do pull it with an F150.
But if I was only going to haul one pin in the back of my truck, I’d probably just take along a roll of shrink wrap and just wrap it up real good. Once your moving, unless you drive into a downpour, not much would hit it anyway. Just unwrap it as soon as you get home.
We use this trailer to move computer equipment to conventions a few times during the year. It fits well over 100 monitors and gaming PC’s, “Racing chairs” (PS4’s networked and using Logitech controls) and other assorted hardware needed. (Networking, displays, etc)
This is about as much as I would want to tow with my F150. It handles it fine, but when running 70+ MPH of the freeways and you pass a semi.... you can feel it. If I was to pull this thing more often, I’d definitely step up to at least a diesel 3/4 ton.
I get about 11-12mpg when pulling this with my F150. That little 3.5L Ecoboost will holds its own quite well.
This was when I was loading up earlier this past year at the end of Gencon in Indy.
I had this style of rolling bed covers before on a previous truck that I owned. It had a latch at the back that you could lock basically turning the entire truck bed into one huge trunk as you had to open the cover to be able to open the tailgate.
The cover would roll up on a drum located just behind the cab. Everything was contained below the bedsides.
I’m tempted to put another one of these on my current truck. It did come in handy at times.
Quoted from SilverWings:Thats a Roll-N-Lock cover. I have one on my 2013 F150 crew cab, making it the perfect EM pin hauler. I say EM because with the head removed, the F150's bed is deep enough to fit even late 70's Gottlieb cabinets with the cover rolled closed (you'll have to remove the "neck" from the cabinet, which is the small rectangular piece the head sits on). The older 60's wedge head EM cabinets fit easily, with the head units riding inside the cab.
The Roll-N-Lock covers are well built and completely water tight. I take mine through the car wash and there won't hardly be a drop inside. The cover can be latched/locked in several positions. Works very very well for hauling a couple EM's.
Yep, Roll-N-Lock. That’s what I had. Watertight, yes, but if I get another one I’m putting some seals on the tailgate to help keep the dust out from country roads.
Other than a little dust getting in the bed, I had zero complaints.
