Default Re: Towing thoughts - tractor

Your trailer looks like mine but mine says that it is 1700lbs. I initially had the car further on the nose but backed it off to center the weight on the front trailer axle. The extra length of the trailer ahead of the axles would still give plenty of the required nose weight. I didn't use an anti sway, air bags, or w/d hitch but it was pretty stable even with heavy crosswinds. Car haulers don't have the side profile as box trailers. The only "extra" equipment I have is a P3 brake controller.


Trailer 1700lbs + Car 4200lbs still managed 14.2mpg from Atlanta to Orlando
