You didn't order the boat ramp trailering package? That's standard on a Ford.

Yup, Posi-trac really doesn't have anything to do with your trailer package so unfortunatley the result is exactly what you experienced. 2wd is really 1wd unless you have posi and 4wd is really 3wd unless you have a front diff locker as well.

I have 4wd but have noticed that I can usually pull out without it. Go slow and make sure your tires have good tread. Some ramps are steeper than others too.

The Eaton locker was an option on my '04 GMC 2500HD 4WD but I'm sure it came standard with a limited slip on the 4WD models. I don't think I've ever even seen a 2WD 2500HD. IMHO pretty worthless as a truck if it doesn't even have a limited slip. Shame on GMC. -------------------- 07 2085 Misty Harbor Pontoon 97 SeaRay 250 Sundancer 83 Glastron-Carlson CVX16-SS 79 Glastron-Carlson CVX18

There are actually very few trucks that are true 4WD. Most of them you can see in the snow spinning one tire up front and one in the back. Hey it works and doesnt cost as much as having lockers front and rear. For most folks, its fine. -------------------- "It aint rocket surgery"

Salesmen sell what the dealership floor plans . A " real truck manager " knows what makes a truck a truck .The only difference between a strip down work truck and glamour truck should be the creature comforts .Since I have been driving the same basic Chvy for 30 years I know what works for me.Prior to buying a boat I had no need for 4 whl drive but I made sure the trucks had 4.10 gears and limited slip.When I went looking for my...

Unfortunately, most 2wd trucks need a Locking Rear Differential, but it is not standard equipment. It just isn't. Towing package has nothing to do with it. However, every 4wd Chevy I have seen gets it. -------------------- Formerly a 1997 Chaparral 2135 Mercruiser 5.7LX EFI Gen + Bravo 3 2.0:1 26" propset

I agree on the fact that not all trucks are treu 4x4, I noticed that with trucks in the snow.....Not all 4 wheels are spinning (never tried this in 4 low). Yeah - you really need to do your research and understand what you are buying.....I would expect that a 2500 HD would have at least posi but than I would also expect a 23 foot boat to be sold with adequate power and I have seen them with a V6..... You can do it though, my dad towed his 19...

What year is this GMC? Check the door code: I believe G80 is the Limited Slip Differential code- It may not be working. Even with an LSD, it's only as good as the traction available, if both rear tires are on something loose it's no better. -------------------- ~Chris 2004 Pontiac GTO Pulse Red 5.7L LS1 6 speed Mine- 2002 Tahoe LS Pewter 4.8L 4x4 Dads- 1997 Stingray 190RS 3.0L / 2010 5 STARR trailer 2001 Sea Doo GTX Red/ Black with...
