a 2k lb trailer with a 86 280Z behind my trail blazer this weekend. that i6 didn't do bad at all, 60 the whole way

 

Cornwell tool box, top and bottom full of tools, 76 SBSC Chevy (with a 396 ) a 300 EX, And Charger parts everywhere. (you can see a door leaning aganst the tail gate of the pretty red, yellow,..white, and rust truck lol) The cab was loaded full of crap too. I hate moving!!
Not an extreme load, but It was a LOOOOONG trip, 400+ miles like that. On the lonelyest (sp) road in America.

 

12,540# total:

 

Holy crap OBX, how much tongue weight did you have on that thing. I hope you did not hit the road loaded like that!

Just another HD on the trailer for me...

 

OBX what did you have in that damn trailer. Might have wanter to flip the ballmount over

 

about 2200#s of granite countertops.I really didnt notice the weight as much as the nice smooth ride.

 

Yeah, it wasn't sitting too level. I had pretty much my whole garage minus the majority of the the tools and tool boxes loaded into the trailer. Also had a small gun safe and contents in the bed. Basically all the stuff I wasn't allowed to put on the semi when I moved cross country.

Isn't tongue weight 10% of the trailer's capacity? If so I had about 700 lbs on the tongue.

 

All depends on how you load it. If you put a tool box up by the tongue and pillows at the back well youi get the idea. You had that thing squating pretty good

 

I've had about 1000lbs of slate tile in the bed,
several times I got 20 bags of mulch at 40lbs a piece,
and several small trees, bushes.
Plus other misc crap.

 

a 8000lb ditchwitch, on a 2000lb tandem axle trailer,,, poor ole 5.3 was talking,,,, thats about 10,000lb total. all with 3.42s and with a tow package rated at 6k lbs.... hum, not to bright!!!
