What are you guys towing?

[silverdagger1994]

Doing a tow test today before our move from South Carolina to California! Bronco is around 4200. Trailer is 2210. 6,410lbs behind the ranger. She’s sitting pretty leveled!

What y’all think on a 2,000 mile road trip with this setup??

Hey y’all; Made it to Orlando before this crazy weather & the ranger did great for 310miles from South Carolina. The real trip starts tonight! 1,000miles to Houston, TX

Why on earth would you move to California?

I thought the same thing, but didn't wanna say it.
We don't know what we don't know, and maybe he's forced to do it for some reason.
I hope it's nothing serious. That way maybe he can change his mind ?
Perhaps AZ will captivate him so much he'll settle here!

I left that hellhole 5 years ago and I wouldn't go back even if they paid me.

What hate? I grew up there and lived all over CA. I still have family there. Was a cop there for 8 years. I don't hate anyone living there, but that state is garbage. There's a reason people are leaving. In 2020 alone, nearly 650,000 people left California for other states.

I was referring to the state itself....NOT the people....

Back to towing, what are you folks pulling? Seen here what I did today. Very likely the last groom for the year.

Jetski is broke so the only thing I've towed so far was a big fermenting tank for my bud's brewery.
We rented some U-Haul trailers and moved five of them from the brewery to the new brewpub.
Probably about 3600 lb., no issues with it.

Another trailer towed. No problems ?

Hope you are successfully here in the Eureka state or that your travels are continuing to go well. We've got 20K+ miles towing 6K on our '21 XLT and couldn't be happier.

Currently the trailer (HQ15) is getting Hydrastar disc brakes to replace the stock drums, and we have PowerStop Z26 brakes on order for the truck. Everything was "OK", but not great in terms of stopping and keeping the trailer wheels locked while parked on uneven ground (we try to get off-road as much as possible and prefer to get away from campgrounds and the like). If you came over any significant passes on your travels you might want to check the front rotors on your next service.

Welcome!

We have a 2022 XLT Tremor that we’ll be pulling a Surveyor 19BHLE with. About 4600lbs wet and tongue weight around 450ish. Trailer is in storage yet and want to get hitch set up on truck as close as possible before picking it up. Does anyone have something similar and if so do you know what your receiver height ( top of inside) is on the truck when loaded? Just sure how much squat we’ll get with 450 on the hitch. Was going to ask the wife and her friend to sit on the tailgate to simulate but better judgment prevailed. We’ll fine tune it when we get home. Thanks in advance

I loose about 2" in the rear on our Tremor with about a 450-480lb trailer tongue not including the weight of our Equalizer WDH which is probably another 60lbs or so? I already had gear in the bed, probably 250lbs worth so the 2" loss was just from putting the trailer on it.

Just typing this has I thought about your question.

Thanks! That will get me close. Can fine tune after that. Really appreciate it!
