Default Re: Towing - help!!!!

That setup you describe is very similar to ours, except we're pulling with a shorter wheelbase Sequoia. The power is the same, the trailer weights are the same, and our trailer is a 32 footer.

Our loading strategy is to load everything but people in the tow vehicle, except for my mountain bike. On local trips we'll throw in a box of firewood. I have plenty of room left on my rear axle ratings when loaded with the wood.

We try to tow with the trailer's tanks empty, but will tow home with the black tank full. Power out of that 4.7 is not an issue.

My web site has more details about our setup, if that would be helpful.
