- Loading a non-running pickup truck onto a utility trailer without the use of a winch. This video demonstrates a method to recover a vehicle that does not run with only a truck and trailer. I've used this method dozens of times on all types of vehicles, even without the help of another person.

Thanks for putting this together! Can’t wait to see this 76 run again!
It was my pleasure
I was on the verge of saying what in the 3 stooges is going on here, but you kicked the ass on the loading😅👍
Thank you. I've done this dozens of times, mostly with this trailer. Some don't understand why I want the trailer to tilt up like it does, it allows me to be in full control of when and how fast the vehicle moves and eliminates the steep ramp. You see how gentle and smoothly I'm able to set it down.

This is great! It solves a problem I had with a non running car! Thanks!
Thank you sir! this will help me tomorrow picking up a 84 Saab 900 turbo.
Have fun and be careful. Let me know how it goes!
I just moved my 06 saab 9-5 today on a u-Haul trailer
Coolest car ever
Wow! Didn't know you could do that. Thanks for the info! Good Job!
Thank you! th-cam.com/video/h9Dijg_1m4o/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
You are a life saver, bro thanks alot
Thanks for the great idea, Good Job !
Go Louisiana! Nice video and made me homesick!
Nothing like it in the world!
Awesome video!!
Thanks bro
No guts no glory.. i love it man back yarding at its best.
That's my boy! Show 'em how it's done brotha!!
Yeah you right! I've loaded them without keys, stuck in park with the wheels turned by myself before. Just have to plan it out.
That’s wild. I have this exact color truck, maybe even the same year (1976, 3 on the tree, straight 6) and this exact trailer. I just had hernia surgery-but the landlords are selling and we gotta be out-so how to do this without a winch. Seen this video and my mind was blown! No way, same truck!
Nice! Well done!
Thank you very much
Some damn good wheel chocks. Personally, I would use a third vehicle to pull the disabled vehicle onto the trailer with the tow vehicle at a 90-degree angle hook to trailer. Wood blocks underneath the rear of the trailer would help with trailer tilt little bit also. It was successful though.
It's been successful at least 15 times. From a Honda civic to a Silverado 1500 HD. The method is perfect in every aspect. The trailer tilt is the exact thing that makes this go so smoothly, even doing it alone. I am in full control of what the trialer and vehicle I'm loading is doing. I've got one other video on here of me loading a Malibu, same exact way.
It’s actually better if the trailer tilts up at the front to allow a better loading angle at the ramp.
im shocked the hitch jack held that weight??? I probably dont have to say that is not a car trailer, its a utility trailer. It worked, but i wouldnt recommend.
@longgracing25 Why wouldn't you recommend? And the tongue weight was nowhere close to the 2500lbs the jack is rated at. Yes, it is "technically" a utility trailer but there's been more vehicles than I can remember on there since purchased in 2015, the largest was a Silverado 1500 HD.
As long as the trailer is rated to hold that kinda weight than I'd def say sure go for it!!! If the trailer ain't weighted to do that kinda job than maybe ya try another avenue instead!! Lol
Just bc ya can or are able to do something a particular way doesn't always mean ya should!! Just frrom one redneck to another sir!!! 😂
Also just bc it may have worked out well for ya doesn't nec mean that everybody should do it this way bc it may not work out just as smoothly for them as it did for ya!!!! 😄😁
@@DavidShieldsLa just because you can doesn't mean you should.
@@muddpatterson3119 if you can give me a legitimate reason I shouldn't I'd really love to hear it. Not trying to sound like an ass so please don't misunderstand. There's absolutely nothing wrong with any of it if you know what you're doing. And just because it's a "utility" trailer doesn't mean I can't put whatever will fit on it. The heaviest vehicle, a Silverado 1500 HD, was still right under capacity. After about 15 vehicles, part of my gate broke. Now the gate is better than new with a little welding and 1 added crossmember so it will never happen again.
@@DavidShieldsLa @David Shields first I don't think anything you said made you sound like an ass. We can have a conversation about differences of opinion without sounding that way. Next to give you the number 1 legitimate reason it's not good to carry that truck with that trailer is........ It's overweight. That trailer has a
G.V.W.R of 6,000 lbs
Trailer weight 1525 lbs
Ford about 6,000 lbs
That means you've exceeded it's designed load limit by around 1500 lbs. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Impressive ramp gate.
Thank you!
Would it be a bad idea to put a couple jack stands under the trailer near the back gate to keep it from standing up? I’ve never done this before but the trailer standing up is the part that scares me
I've done this about 15 times. The trailer tilting up makes it much easier, especially for vehicles with low ground clearance. It comes back down nice and easy. I can actually do it without a second person.
@@DavidShieldsLa Good to know, thanks for the reply!
@@AnitaHandy65 you're welcome!
I would not put any jack stands on the back; my buddy pulled my 2500 diesel truck onto his equipment trailer the exact way on the video, chalked the tires with some big chalks he had, used some schema rope (winch rope), and pulled it right onto the trailer, which did tilt a little bit and settled back down, I was dude no way this is going to work, but I will trust ya ... worked great
Hey Boss, Great professional job. Nicely Done. Quick Question is that can you copy paste the link of the yellow tow strap that you are using in the video. Also i want to ask i will be using U Haul 10 ft truck with auto transport trailer in few days to tow a vehicle will this same method works on that too? Thank you.
Perfect video for the ppl like me who are going to tow things with what you have instead of what you need 😂
Good job biejos locos👍
What about using a couple jack stands under the back of the trailer too? To keep it from standing up?👍
I want it to stand up, especially towing car's due to ground clearance and the gate being so steep.
David that's a good video footage, that's exactly what I did it on my video.. That's how we do it out there in the woods right DAVID?
Git r done
What do you do if the vehicle fails to start and its steer tires happen to not be straight?
When you do it again can you show how/where you strapped it down?
David, great video. I’m pretty sure I have the same size trailer. What size is your trailer? I will but loading the almost identical truck.
16x7'
Wanna know an even easier way ? Put the parking brake on.. put a rubber horse mat under ramp.. chaulk rear wheel.. back the trailer up slowely and itll push the truck up the ramp.
Nice idea though. I thought of the same thing myself
There is no way it’s easier to force the trailer under a vehicle especially when the parking brake is on and the wheels are chocked.
And rip/bend my gate and possibly warp the frame? No way does that make sense. The way I do it I am in full control of what the truck and trialer are both doing and can control it like a surgeon.
And big brother you have 60,000 views and only 500 like you should have 60,000 like 👍 you just showed me something new
If its a car or something without so much ground clearance, does it tear up the front bumper?
I may have to do that. I have a car that I need to pick up that doesn't run. I have to load it on a car hauler trailer
Love that from plate
Bravo!!
Thank you!
Just bought a 64 Corvair. I'm about to go do this alone 🙂. Wish me luck!
How'd it work out bud?
@@DavidShieldsLa worked great! Ended up not getting it until this morning, but got it on the trailer with no problems
@@lesliecrow3400 that's awesome. It's safe, easy and quick. I can do it twice as fast as I did in the video lol. Takes longer to strap and unstrap.
@@DavidShieldsLa thanks for the video it helped me out and saved me from paying a tow service !
@@DavidShieldsLa oh and by the way I did it all myself !!!
I think it migth bend the back part but looks good for an emergency
A little trick to unload is to tie a strap to the back of the trailered vehicle to something solid like a tree then simply get in the tow vehicle while its still hooked up to the trailer and pull out from beneath it
That's fucking legit! Great job 👏 👍
Thank you. Everyone gets a kick out of it when they see me do it.
Did he take the gate of the trailer off while towing because that definitly wasn't closing
Yes. I take it off and put it under the vehicle.
...how did you close the ramp?
Perfect!!!!
Brilliant
What type of tow strap do you use? Would a 2in by 20ft work?
Probably, if it’s long enough. Looks to be a 2” at least in this video.
What about the ramp?? Removed it , then put it back on ?
Awesome
What size is the trailer?
Any tips for a car thats sunken into the ground?
Start digging
Thank God for country boys I just did this twice and it works
Amen! Thank you so much. The people that can't see the simplicity and that it's perfectly safe haven't been doing stuff like this with their hot wheels as toddlers, go karts, atvs you name it....
Can this be done alone by one person?
Yes, I've done it many times alone. Make sure the front of the trailer is sitting a little higher in the back so the vehicle doesn't hit the front railing if slack gets in the strap before you have a chance to strap it down.
Y’all did what with the gate?
What dimensions are the trailer? Thank
16'x7'
Pro tip. Block under the rear of the rear so you don't lift the tongue.
Put some jack stands under the back god damn 😂
What size trailer is that?
16x7'
@@DavidShieldsLa ok I'm about to try that with my 1984 f150 supercab on my 7x14
The back tires will be at the edge of the trailer but you'll be fine. Same buddy in the video with me needed a new engine for his other truck so drove 7 hours and decided to buy the entire truck(18 Silverado) we had to lie and say we were putting a different vehicle on it because their biggest trialer was 14 which we knew would be fine. Memphis to New Orleans no issues.
@@DavidShieldsLa it barely fit had to ratchet strap the gate to the bed of the truck lol thanks for the video it was most helpful and worked just like you showed
I have to take my gate off when towing trucks. I told you it would be right on that edge lol and people think it's dangerous and that I don't know what I'm doing 🤷🏻
I would put jack stands tho
That was pretty easy, I have to be honest here. I am intimidated by doing this without a winch
I've done it dozens of times, it's easy and safe. If you are intimidated or not 100 percent confident in trying this, or anything in general, please don't. Thanks for watching!
3500 lb axles. That trailer had to be at or over its limit.
Those trailers usually can haul a 7,000 lb.
Had 2300ish left to go. I've maxed it out, takes it well and even put 10k on it once, didn't think it would spring back lol it did though and she's still giving me great service.
That trailer has 7000 lb axle capacity minus the weight of the trailer which is around 2200 lb. That trailer is a utility trailer rated at 4800lb after subtracting trailer weight. I'd say it was over the limit if not right at it. Need a car hauler.
@@rke1987 That trailer is 1200lbs empty and it's perfectly fine to haul vehicles with every now and then. Now I wouldn't use that type of trailer to solely haul a car but it's perfectly fine to haul a car every once in awhile at a reasonable distance. People haul 5,000lbs tractors with that type of trailer on a daily basis. That's why it's called a utility trailer aa it has a various of uses.
@@jamesm568 thank you. It's paid for itself twice over JUST hauling vehicles every now and then. Also when you have the tools and ability to fix it, you bet I'm going to use it!
Next time try it without keys so the transmission's in Park.
Sell me this beautiful truck buddy
get a few guys and push it on
