So, what is everybody towing?

23 JTRD, 2 aluminum tandem axle trailers. One is enclosed and one is a flat bed, they are both 18’ to the ‘V’

Anyone towing a utility trailer with a mesh rear gate empty, if you can lay it flat on the floor it will help on the mpgs. Especially if you are Hauling tail down the highway. If I had not "lifted" my light duty trailer I would have left the original gate off and kept the one I built on. Less wind drag.

Very nice setup! How much was the trailer and how much does it weigh? It looks lightweight which is what I am looking for towing my TJ.

Dropped off my wife’s Bronco Sport due to a tranny issue, then picked up a pallet of bricks for a buddy of mine on the way back.

bonus photo of a trunk or treat.

I get between 12 and 13 MPG towing my 5,100 lb (with all we want or need) 27' Vantage Sonic SN220VRB.

Again, stone stock Overland. Never see 8th when towing but 7th at 2,100 RPMs at 65 MPH.

You won't believe what my wife asked me tonight -
"would you ever get a camper again so we can travel now and then, like maybe to Montana or some other places?"

Her quilter friend just bought a huge motor home and tow their SUV behind it and are going almost every other week. Well, that got my wife interested (she HATED camping years ago when I had a camper and went to antique engine shows and such - she can't stand the cramped spaces and inconveniences)
She said her friend was selling their camper but that we'd need a 3/4 ton truck to tow it.
I asked- OMG, how big is that thing?
I said - it depends on the camper's weight and frontage. And no, I'm not going a full size truck again.

Hydraulic dump trailer full of whatever was in my sister’s house when she moved out. Not sure what the weight was but it felt ok on the back of the diesel.

Just curious about what is on the road behind our JT's.

Here is what I am pulling.

Moby1 Off road trailer. Pretty loaded up and only around 2500lbs (32 water tank empty)...

I just saw something like this ɓehind a Taco. The canopy was on the other side and I assumed the tent was on top. But now I see that it makes it down to the ground. The wife might go for this she DID NOT want to sleep on the roof. I thunk the sleeping part would be fine, just getting her to climb up was the scary part.

Definitely something to look into, thanks for sharing.

If your wife is like mine, you will go camping one time. Then the excuses pour in as to why there's no time for camping. Beware! It's a trap.
