How much do you estimate the combined weight of these rigs is?
'78 K5 1/2 ton running gear, 39.5 IROKS, 350, sm465, np205/np205, 2 foot shorter, no top, no doors, no rear seat, no rear fender skins.

Wondering if I got a long enough trailer (25 Foot) if I could haul em both behind my V10 Excursion.

One plan on extra weight on your rig...ie d60 and 14bff. Cuz you know one day you will have it.
What about camping gear? Dont forget to factor all that crap in also.
Mine before the 60 and 454, and before I took off the doors, top, swapped the blazer gate for a truck one was about 5k. Truck, trailer, blazer were 13600 with a small about of camping gear. Truck was about 7k, trailer about 1k figuring the blazer about 5k.
The yota I would guess 3500lbs.
Are you going to be over the GVRW of the tow rig? I think I am. :unsure:
Didnt you get a truck? There was a gooseneck trailer on craigslist for $850, 3 axle.

Yeah I guess I will be pushing it. We actually got a Ford Excursion Limited 4x4 V10. Super crappy 10-11 MPG but don't care, the rig is sweet, we love it!
Depending on my axle ratio (haven't looked yet) my towing capacity is 11,000 or 9,600 total trailer weight. I'll be fine towing either one, just can't tow em both I guess, until the Toyota gets the Hendrix cage. :)

For bumper pulling you will be at max for sure without a class A licence.
The ideal way to tow two rigs would be with a goose neck.....I would guess yer over 8K and then add the weight of a trailer that can handle both would put you over 10K so...class A land at that point....
Buy a diesel dully and your all set :blink:
