I just towed this Chenowth DR2 home this weekend. It was bucking slightly and I tried changing the load on the WD hitch, but that didn't help. Now looking at the picture I think I should have put the car on backwards. Looks like it didn't have enough tongue weight because it's a rear engine car.
Hauled my buddy's 90's-ish Mercury Sable on it's last ride to the scrap yard today with my 18' flatbed car trailer. Wasn't much of a workout, but it was the first time I used that trailer since last summer. Of course that is how I also discovered today that my trailer lights don't work (worked last time I used it). May be a bad ground, but didn't have any time to deal with it today. Still have my old magnetic base drag lights I used to use while flat towing my Jeeps, so I could at least "run lights" today.
I haul several trailers.
1. A 2007 Interstate Cargo Supercoach enclosed car hauler 20 foot x 8 1/2 cargo box, 24 feet tongue to tail. (Presently hitched to our 2015 F350 Dually and on our way to Arizona)
2. A 2014 Montana 3625RL, 40 feet tongue to tail. We have put about 14000 miles on this so far, plan on using it bunches again very soon.
3. A 1994 Carson Utility trailer 7x10ft, use it for general hauling, has a ramp so it works good for kids motorcycles, other toys. (Sorry no pics attached to newer truck).
I drove down to MO. and picked up a new project '53 IH rat rod & car trailer. Mind you I had the bed of my truck full with a motor, trans,hood, other parts and tools. It was 400 miles each way and on the way there I was doing 80/85 mph and every now & then alittle bit faster. I did 65mph loaded since I didn't trust new trailer. 14mpg both ways!?! Towed nicely.
