Show us what you tow.

Now picture that stuck in snow, in front of the owner's own driveway - then picture the look on my face recovering him .

100th post!

 

There were plenty of people with a proper straps. The lines used were probably stronger than "proper straps", even if they do not look it.

They were taken from the jib (front sail) of a fifty foot sailboat.

Trust me, the wind puts a lot more force on the lines in the video than I did pulling the Prerunner.

 

what the fuck? what's the etiquette on this? legal??

 

Bought the trailer to haul my Harley but never could bring myself to put in the trailer ,had to ride it everywhere. I use the most to move my kids around. The trailer is 10x5x6. I had to special order it so the harley windsheild would clear. Trailer weights 2400 and when loaded with all of my daughters junk 3200+. I get 17mpg dragging it.

 

Good for you!! Bikes were made to be ridden. Get a rain suit and heated clothes. Its more fun on the bike riding in just about anything, rather than sitting in a cage..

 

Yeah it looked like wimpy dock line.

 

Here is what i tow

 

My 6.5' x 12' aluminum v-nose motorcycle trailer.

 

Its usually loaded with lumber concrete and trash. I work residential construction. I also need a bigger drop on my hitch.

 

Its Legal as long as you have the proper License for it.

 

Here is our setup. Just got it over Thanksgiving wknd. Its a 7x16 Interstate. We have 3 fullsize quads and camp gear for it. Pulls quite well but only 10 mpg's. But well worth it when everything stays dry.

 

Looks good, may I ask about how much that set you back?

 

Got this on craigslist- awesome camper!

 

I agree.

 

That's a big trailer. I'm assuming you have trailer brakes?

 

i was thinking the same thing.looks like he can fit the taco in the trailer

 

Thanks. Got it for 1700 off of Craigslist.

 

Ya I would be foolish not to have trailer brakes so they are on the trailer front and rear axles . The trailer only weighs in at 2100 lbs dry and the rest of the gear is about 2000 lbs so still within my limits of the total weight of what the truck can pull. But it does look quite big compared to the truck.

 

Awesome bike! Just bought an 2008 650

 

have only towed with my toyota once so far

uhaul 6x12




some other things i towed with my old 99 mazda b2500 4cyl 119 hp!
the toyota will be much better suited for the heavy stuff after how great it did with the 6x12

dads 59 cj5


uhaul 5x8


my utility trailer, its made out of a 75 dodge shortbed, contemplating painting it again white so it will match my new toyota but probably wont do that


friend bought a 95 eagle talon that didnt run, by this point i had installed "k rated leaf springs" from a 2008 4.0 4wd ranger


plan to get another alum boat some day, picture taken in 2006, trailered it from northern california to lake havasu arizona. Tow "rig" (and my favorite car ive ever owned) was a 1996 acura integra LS with b18b1, short ram intake, dc 4-2-1 ceramic header, apexi n1 catback exhaust, lowered 1.8" on eibach sportline springs and tokico blues, 15" 99 civic si rims with 195/50/15 hankook k106 tires, and other stuff im sure im forgetting, the tow hitch was an etrailer 1 1/4" and the boat trailer had a 1 7/8" ball
