I’m also looking to upgrade or downgrade..
weight is my bid issue.. the lighter the trailer the better.. all I’m hauling is my YJ.. but towing with the SRT makes weight an issue...

I never wanted a red car.. always thought they were tacky and common...
I now have 4 very not common cars and they are all red.. :o

Heard a story about that supposed tow rating this weekend... I'm sure it was down to poor weight distribution but when an Excursion and a Titan have roughly the same tow rating, and trading the trailer from the Ex that'll comfortably do 80 with it makes the Titan white-knuckle at 55, something doesn't add up.

I can tow 15k at 80 and not even know there's a trailer on :P


Seriously I've had no issues other than the first time I towed and left it in OD and the trans got hot.

I'd chalk that story up to user error

I dunno. It was bad enough the guy sold the truck right away. Doesn't mean it wasn't user error anyway :shrug:

FWIW, I just picked a trailer up from these guys.

http://www.appalachiantrailers.com/car-hauler-trailers.php

They were cheap enough it didn't make sense to me to look at used ones... They custom built me one with no dovetail for the same price and I picked it up in PA.
