Will not pull boat (for Jay) up an incline

Ive pulled 4000+ pounds of cargo through some gnarly hills, I never had an issue like that.

Based on your account I can think of four possibilities:

A) The truck will sometimes cut power if it senses wheel slip. The locker should have put a stop to it, but I'd try turning off trac control as well.
B) There is something horribly wrong with either a sensor or the transmission.
C) Your bilge is so full of water that youre towing half the lake behind you.
D) Are the brakes/wheels siezed on your trailer?

 

That sucks you had multiple issues. The thing that concerns me is that usually if its truly too much weight (no wheel slip/dry pavement) my truck would still attempt to move but do that jumping bull bucking motion, not cut power. I'd say something interfering in an odd way like trac control or something is up.

 

boat trailer brakes were not locked up pulls it fine on level terrain! Yes I think traction control kicking in and cutting power, so on the 3rd attempt i smoked the tires all the way up the drive to get it out!! i just disappointed this my taco is not able to pull this size boat ! if it was a 30' offshore boat i would understand

 

I have pulled my boat which is a 23' wakeboat and an ice castle with my tacoma and had no issues beside getting stuck in mud since we don't have a concrete ramp. We snapped a cable for winch on a ranger trying to pull it out

 

boat had no water in it i was heading to the lake from my house this was the 1st time pulling the boat up the driveway!

 

Did the engine rev when you gave it gas on the first and second try? Or did it kinda just act bogged down?

 

Trac is not cutting in if you are smoking the tires.

 

kinda just act bogged down on 1st and 2nd attempts
on 3rd attempt up the drive turn it off

 

For the love of god can you please write proper sentences so your audience may know what the **** you are talking about?

 

Thanks for all the replies ,but i'm just done with this truck and the smart asses in here!!

 

Could there be something physically preventing to the truck from pulling the boat. Perhaps brakes are still applied, wheel chocks not removed?

 

Dude we are trying to help you. Problem is that it's hard to understand what you are typing.

 

specter208 no sir ! I wish that i would had my wife video but i wasn't thinking about that just worried about getting the truck and boat up the hill

 

JNG I understand i'm just pissed at the world right now!

 

I was thinking the same thing, and just brain storming here....
1) A gallon of gas weighs just over 6 lbs. So even with a full tank you'd still be under the tow capacity;
2) Boat full of water;
3) Possibly something with the trailer brakes. Could there be something in the trailer brake system that detects a certain angle and locks the brakes? Seems doubtful as most boat ramps are at an angle.
4) Are the brakes electronic? Possibly something wrong with them.


It does not sound normal at all. You could try adding some sandbags over the rear axles to help gain some traction.

 

Doc: What's wrong?
OP: IT HURTS
Doc: Explain
OP: PAIN
Doc: Im trying to help, what are your symptoms?
OP: HURTZ! OMG HALP
Doc: Can you be specific?
OP: U suck, no halp

 

yep. he came here just to vent. Doesn't want all the questions from people trying to help.

 

hey friend. When you accelerate are you flooring it or you being very ginger on the pedal? If you floor it, you could be breaking traction and the truck is preventing the wheels from slipping, put some weight in the back over the trucks rear axle and try again.

 

ColoradoTJ I have new nitto ridge grappler 285/75/16 and the driveway is asphalt , I might try the sandbag Thanks!
