I have a 2013 gmc sierra half ton, I am looking at getting a stealth predator aluminum enclosed trailer. Havent decided on whether i want an inline or a deckover. I want to get a 3 or 4 place. What are your thoughts and any input would be helpful!

Pulled a buddies 30' Legend (car hauler) with zero issues, can't tell it's back there. You will not have a problem pulling a deck over all alum. Certainly an inline would tow great...

I disagree, I had a 07 Avalanche with a 5.3 and attempted to pull a 20ft v nose deckover all aluminum with it and it pulled like a brick wall. I sold the trailer for something lower and now pull with a 12 Ford with a 6.7 or a 13 with an ecoboost. I would recommend an inline or an upgrade from a 5.3 if that's what you're pulling with. That is not a towing set up imo.

Must be hemi then:tongue: His 30' pulled great behind my 2013 Dodge 1500, haven't pullled a deck over so I shouldn't have commented on that.

last summer i bought a 27' (22+5) all alum. my 2008 6.0 Vortec Max new it was there, empty...i traded up to a 2011 mega cab with 6.7 cummins, chip,deletes and 34" tires and with 4 sleds i still average 11.5mpg @ 75-80 mph to cooke city from Dickinson, ND. No doubts would my GMC would pull it but guess 6-7 mpg. Buddy pulled a 4 place open (3 sleds )with new tahoe averaged 13 mpg.
