bah the 5.4 can tow fine, i just got back from california towing a 1980 corvette all the way back...its a 7000k round trip. so 3500 with the car on the trailer. the trailer is 2000lbs, i an not sure on the car but probl;y atleast 3000lbs. towed fine, just dont tow in overdrive or use cruise control and all is good. i have no problems with it since getting back.

 

I'm looking for the same setup to tow my Jeep. How much can I expect to pay for a trailer like that?

Thanks,
Bob

 

a well built 20', steel deck, brakes, LED lights will run $2100 - $2400 on average.

 

I got my 18' steel deck used for $1600. I had to rewire the trailer and replace the electric brake assemblies on both sides plus a blowout on the 1st run out, but that can happen with a new trailer with new tires. I swear you never know when those things are going to let go. I've for about $1800 total.

Thanks guys for the replies. I got about 6 months to look for a good deal. I would love to find an enclosed trailer that could double as a storage unit when not in use. But, with the Jeep being so heavy I need to find one with tandem 5200 lb axles.

Pull my Jeep on an 18 foot trailer is exactly what I wanted to do with my truck. Check my profile for a pic of truck with Jeep. The truck pulls excellent.

Nosedive, where are you located (state).

 

With most front engined cars, I just center the car on the rear axle, which seems to put about 10% of the weight of the car on the tongue, almost perfect. Easiest way to center is is usually when you sit in the car, you're somewhere around the center of the car, so just look out the window (or open the door) and drive to the center of the trailer's fender.

 

Nice truck, and nice jeep! Me and my dad are in the process of fixing up a 91 wrangler. Still got awhile, putting a 92 Cherokee engine in it atm. Anyways I know that truck has no problems pulling that beast.

I had a samurai for quite a while with a SPOA lift and 31"s. WAs able to pull 2 at one time with my ford saving my friend the hassle of killing his lil ranger.


My friend pulling 2 jeeps with a dodge Cummings was tagged by a inattentave xterra driver on the way back from barnwell
