Very Interesting. I know mine can easily pull a 14K trailer in Florida. (no big hills)
with no problem at all. Stopping is another story. But it can tow it. As long as the trailer has brakes. I have pulled one from Bartow to Arcadia. Gas mileage stiiiinnnkkkks though. :eek:

Don't worry, there was no one else joy riding around back then. I was towing FEMA trailers down to a FEMA camp. Days after the area was wiped out from a hurricain. The roads were empty except for the debries everywhere.:brows:

Had no problem except gas millage sucked 5mpg and was a lot of two lane back roads and hills
5mpg?...???...!!! 5, as in the number after 4 and before six? That 5? Yikes!!!

Did you remember to turn on your "Tow Haul"? J/K'g

Obviously, I shall never complain again about the 7.8mpg when I am driving out of Phoenix (1200') to Flagstaff (6900') towing a full load of furniture or appliances in what I dubbed "The Silver Pig".

Dang, that thing must have had a lot of tough weight. To make the dual-lie squat like that.

That's about the length of the big one I pulled. it sat a lot higher though. It was a park model trailer.

a little bit of an optical illusion, my driveway isnt perfectly flat, but yeah i did end up putting air bags in the back to help. i didn't like it though, ended up buying a 36ft diesel pusher motorhome and a 28ft trailer. which puts the pivot point very close to the middle making it much easier to drive and corner.

Not to mention going over short hills. Are those little helper wheels up towards the front?

Nice. And the picot point for the trailer is much further forward too. Although Tough weight probably isn't much of an issue with the know rig. :thumb:
