Re: what do you tow your trailer with

Most of the time I use my 1993 4x4 Bronco. Sometimes I use the wifes 2009 2x4 GMC Sierra. The Sierra is a much better tow vehicle.

I pull my Bayliner 1994 Bayliner Capri 1952 with my 1994 Chevy 1500 W/T 4x4.

Works very well, also towed my smaller 15' Glastron without any problems.

I use my '00 GMC Sonoma 2WD to tow my little 12' Sea Nymph. Works great! I'll be trading her in soon for a V8 4X4 to tow my other, heavier boat that will be done soon (hopefully).

I pull my Lund WC-14 with an '07 Dodge 3500 with the 5.9 CTD.

A bit overkill for towing the Lund,but just right for the 33' fifth wheel.

Re: what do you tow your trailer with

1978 chevrolet 1/2 ton pickup 4 wheel drive positraction rear end lift kit ( bottom of the door is about waist high) and tires that look like they belong on a small tractor. The Chevy people are wondering- does it still have a cam? The answer is "No, I don't believe so"
I'm working on a patriotic (1976) suburban lower to the ground, real road tires, and the hitch isn't so high so I won't run out of travel on the trailer jack when I unhook.

Re: what do you tow your trailer with

I pull my 2003 Chaparral weighing in at close to 3500 wet with trailer with a 2000 Oldsmobile Silhouette mini van with a tiny 3.4 Liter V6 with factory tow package. This van has taught me that the steepness of the ramp doesn't seem to matter. Apparently 210 lbs of tourqe is plenty. It will take on the steepest, longest ramp anywhere and yank out my boat with just a little pedal to my and onlookers suprise. The problem is if it is slippery or if the trailer is ever even the slightest bit angled from the van, then it will spin for the obvious frontwheel drive/weight in the back reasons. Half of my stress pulling this boat is wondering if the transmission is going to go out at any moment while towing. It has 116k miles but shows no signs of trouble. I don't think most folks realize that some minivans are as big/bigger and close to as heavy as most midsized and some full sized suv's with the exception of being on a car frame. All that said it is time for a new-used 4wd SUV and give the van a break. I am thinking Trailblazer/Envoy since they have such low resale and are plentiful.

Re: what do you tow your trailer with

Well, just got the boat home with my new $400 beater truck...

Seems to me it's a bit high with the step bumper, maybe I'll put one of those receiver mounts underneath

But it towed home fine, no sway.

The truck is an 89 F-150, 2WD, 4.9L inline six and a 5 speed stick.

My tow rig looks similar, except mine's a BOMB'd Cummins powered longbed.
This is an old pic, I have H2 wheels now and the box is gone.
