Selecting Truck and Trailer for Two Dirt Late Models
Good morning everyone. This is a little long winded, so please bear with me. I appreciate any help or advice you can offer based on your experiences. Thank you!I have 3 kids and I'm planning to transition them from kart and quarter midget racing into dirt late models over the next several years. Our karting operation has a 14' trailer and our quarter midget operation has a 24' trailer. Our current tow vehicle is a 30' class C gas motorhome. In about 3 years I plan on moving our oldest into late models with his brothers to follow in a few short years. At that time we'll still be racing karts and quarter midgets until they're all transitioned over to late models. To support all of this I'm planning the following:2017 February / March - Buy a truck 2020 Mid Summer - Buy a 2 car trailer and use it for dirt late models2024 - Buy a second truck and convert the quarter midget hauler to dirt late models (that would get us to 3 dirt late models and our oldest kid would have a vehicle)So where I need help:What truck should I buy?The truck I'm going to buy soon needs to be a unicorn of sorts. I want to use it to carry the family (crew cab), as a commuter (not a dually), and I want it to be capable of pulling a 2 car trailer. I'm confident that a Crew Cab F250 would work well for hauling my family, hauling a single car trailer, and commuting. What I don't know is how well or poorly an F250 would haul a 2 car stacker or gooseneck. I'd like to hear some good / bad stories on this and receive recommendations on trucks I'm not considering that would work for all of my needs. What trailer should I buy?The trailer I will by in 2020 needs to haul two dirt late models and be towed by the truck I'm buying this year. I like the idea of a stacker since I don't have a ton of storage space in my driveway for a long gooseneck. ...but, from what I've read a stacker may not be towable with the type of truck I'm wanting. Figuring out the trailer type would be a big consideration in the type of truck I buy this year. I'm interested in your experiences with F250 or other trucks that suit the needs above and hauling stackers and goosenecks.Looking forward to putting this puzzle together with your help!Thank you,Wes Laney
