I couldnt watch the video, the auto subtitles said the weights. I wrote the post to confirm that I was not misinformed or misunderstoodTrailer with car was over 6800? Seriously? How much does that CAR weigh?
My car hauler is 1500 pounds. Spare and tool box add about 100 pounds. So figure 1600 for trailer.
My car's curb weight is 3100 pounds. (some say 3200 but that's likely with auto, my little SX4 is a stick)
1600 + 3100 = 4700 pounds for my trailer with car.
Those uhaul trailers must be heavy - or that is a 5,000 pound car.
If I put 680 pounds of tongue weight on mine I'd not be able to see the road - I'd be bird watching LOL
Heck I drove around all day bird watching and I didn't even have to tow around a 5,000 pound pregnant roller-skate. I was out looking for Snowy Owls with zero luckIf I put 680 pounds of tongue weight on mine I'd not be able to see the road - I'd be bird watching LOL
Bummer - owls are COOL - I've never seen a snowy owl other than on TV (nature shows, etc.) or in captivity. Neat birds, neat hunters.Heck I drove around all day bird watching and I didn't even have to tow around a 5,000 pound pregnant roller-skate. I was out looking for Snowy Owls with zero luck
I simple search yielded that a U-Haul car hauler weighs 2210 pounds and the curb weight of a Hyundai Ioniq is 3115 so there is some weight that is unaccounted for.Trailer with car was over 6800? Seriously? How much does that CAR weigh?

1500lb worthI simple search yielded that a U-Haul car hauler weighs 2210 pounds and the curb weight of a Hyundai Ioniq is 3115 so there is some weight that is unaccounted for.
I didn't figure that little CAR was all that heavy, not even 4,000 pounds. It's a car, not an SUV (and most things called SUV today I have to LAUGH hard)I simple search yielded that a U-Haul car hauler weighs 2210 pounds and the curb weight of a Hyundai Ioniq is 3115 so there is some weight that is unaccounted for.
800 pounds in the box, 700 pounds tongue weight (I'll bet that much because uhaul has the cars clean to the front, a light-assed car will be close to 3/4 of the weight ahead of the center of the axles). Let's be nice and say 400 in the cab. He said 500 with driver and tools and boxes. 1900-2000 pounds payload. At least.And you had nearly 2000lbs in payload (occupants plus stuff in the cab and bed plus tongue weight of trailer)? If so, that's almost double the payload rating of most JTR doorjams I have seen

brings me back to the point of the video, whatever Weight you want to use, it was maxed out and point being made, no issues, no problems, drove and handled like a champ. hills, long grades,mountains with snow, crazy winds.800 pounds in the box, 700 pounds tongue weight (I'll bet that much because uhaul has the cars clean to the front, a light-assed car will be close to 3/4 of the weight ahead of the center of the axles).

That little Rubicon was more than maxed out on payload. Isn't the basic Rubicon payload 1250 or something like that? So it's already maxed out payload-wise before the trailer was hooked up.
Towing likely close to the 7,000 pound limit.
Very good thing those trailers have the surge brakes! That's a heck of a lot of trailer weight back there to run no brakes.
Wow.
