    Yup...The statue is about 3 feet high, 6 feet wide and weights a couple 100 lbs. It went out for that custom paint job and my wife towed it there and back.

    I think I've tugged Pro60 around a little bit too...

    I pretty much tow ALL the time. I just got done towing my buddy's trailer with his 6-wheeler, a ton of gear, and furniture from Houston to Austin and back.
    Here's me pulling our "baby trailer".

    Here's me pulling my boss' Kubota 4400 on his trailer. I'm pretty close to maxing out the towing capacity with this setup. Thankfully I don't have to tow this a whole lot.

    I had 3200 lbs in my trailer/bed plus me and my wife. We pulled drove from Little Rock, AR to Mountain Grove, MO to Bethesda, MD. We averaged about 14.8 MPG. Not bad when you consider all the mountains we had to drive though.

    I pulled a '95 Honda Accord from Janesville, WI to Reno, NV. It was stuffed with household goods, too. I averaged 13 mpg. Yep, it didn't exactly stop on a dime and on-ramps were fun. I could only use 5th gear on a negative grade.

    Wasn't me but I saw a guy towing a 21ft wakeboard boat. Those things are heavy! The taco was doing about 45 (the speed limit), but looked like a dog that just got paddled on the ass (sagging in the rear about a foot!).
