    Ive towed a ~20 foot camper that weighs about the same as that. Its not fun, it will do it, but not fun. i cant imagine once you have it loaded.
    No brakes? Why are you putting in a brake controller? just curious if i am missing something.

    I don't think the type of people who are driving Aston Martin are even aware of the gender war stuff going on in society, but i get your point.

    You missed the fact he meant no brakes until the brake controller gets installed.
    That trailer has brakes.

    Either way, it doesn't belong behind a Tacoma.

    With all the AI going on some day auto insurers will get wind of this kind of stuff and drop coverage

    Technically he’s within specs. 3,200 for the trailer and about 3,200 for the Fox body inside.

    Yeah but insurers don’t need a reason to drop you

    Also why do you need a 24 foot trailer to tow a car

    so what you're saying is being that he just got the brake controller, all he really needs now is a wireless rear camera to go on the back of the trailer.

    False equivalence. But OK.

    And just to be 100% clear, this thread isn't about seeking assistance or guidance on how best to tow, no, it's purpose is pure rage bait.
    Somebody thought they were being cute towing a ridiculously-dangerous load behind a toy truck.
    Mission accomplished.
    At least nobody i.r.l. was harmed.

    is it though?

    we're all being holier-than-thou about truck size safety for a large trailer, but i would say the same safety concerns are applicable to small childrens car seats being shoe-horned into tiny trucks that don't really fit backwards-facing car seats.

    Is installing child seats in a truck against the law in nearly every state?
    Because towing an unbraked load of that size certainly is...

    Good grief.
