What do you TOW with your Tundra?

You always have friends when you have a dump trailer

 

Headed to the Sierras. Borrowing my folks trailer.

 

tundra is getting a lot of tow time in lately. the 20' enclosed trailer was very loaded and i've never seen my fuel gauge go down so quick.

 

Our 2020 Intech Flyer Pursue ultralite camper -all aluminum frame, 1550# empty 2200# max loaded.


In the elevations of the NC Blue Ridge Mountains.

 

Thinking of upgrading the camper now that I have the Tundra

 

@WZ KTM do you have build sheet for this? It looks really nice.

 

Small TT

 

New/used trailer I bought for motorcycle racing.

 

Scooter racing??? Who with? I raced with CCS for seven years. Stopped reversal years ago. I just tow around an R1 for street riding now.

 

Did CCS/WERA for 10 years on big bikes the last 10 years I have been doing supermoto racing, one off races like Pikes Peak, and also AHRMA as they have a Motard class.

 

I have a small TT and our big one we bought to live in for a few months when we moved

 

I have not got to pull this that often. Want to get it out more, been pretty chaotic since the move.

 

I tow a custom offroad dump trailer made by a local fab shop called Knuckle Busters. We use it to remove trash from wilderness and recreation areas across Arizona.

 

My Aluma...

 

Working on painting the upper floor of the house. Damn thing’s heavy as shit. Managed well through the hills though.

 

Tundra pulls this without breaking a sweat.

 

To all of you, THAT IS AWESOME!I love the video. I won't be towing anything quite that heavy, I ordered a 7X16 enclosed for my motorcycle/two 4 wheelers. I'll have the motorcycle and one 4 wheeler, or just the two 4 wheelers. I hope to pick the trailer up in two weeks. The trailer when finished will be in Willacoochee, Georgia. It's about 10 hours from the Virginia Beach,VA area. Not a big deal for me, I use to drive and repair the big trucks. I had the inside finished with the rubber coin flooring, ramp and all. The walls and ceiling are finished in white aluminum, easy to keep clean. I also ordered the Dexter torsion axles along with alloy wheels. I think it will be just fine.

 

Pulling the little Winnie drop is the same way, almost forget it is there....I have to remind myself when pulling it that I have a trailer behind me.

 

1983 starcraft islander all set up for big lake salmon. Only 300 hours on the motor

 

I'm not sure what your trailer weighs, a rule of thumb is. 10 to 15% of the trailer weight will be on your drawbar. 1,100 lbs sounds like an awful lot on the drawbar. Double check you calculations. A lot of folks tow with a 4X2, but a 4X4 is the way to go. Backing a trailer in on an incline can be tough at times, without that low gearing from the 4X4. The transmissions tend to get warmer much faster without low range. Always keep an eye on the transmission when maneuvering at a slow pace. There will be no difference between the two on the open road, other than the final gearing.

No there not, Pro just has soft ass suspension

 

I like the Airstream!!

 

Cool trailer. What brand and model is that.

 

IMO, you should know your hitch weight before you commit, typically it will be between 10% to 15% of the trailer dry weight. Have you considered weather or not the trailer manufacturer has a light version or line up? Again, IMO you are pushing the weight limit and you may be able to find something similar in a lighter model. As an example, Take a look at the Highland Ridge Open Range Ultra light models

 

The Trailer is a TAB 400

 

That looks AWESOME!.. So many adventures to be had with that thing!

- tundra looks good too btw

 

We are also in SoCal and just retired. Kids are grown up so it’s just the Wife, me and the dog. We bought the following. Hitch weight is 550.
