So, what is everybody towing?

[70deuce]

This trailer, a military M1102, looks a little gainly bit tows great and has a bunch of cool features. Surge brakes that you can definitely feel when there is a decent load in it. Just brush in it in the picture. Had about 1500 lbs of mulch in after dumping the brush and I could feel the trailer brakes come in smoothly as braking was increased. 1460 lb empty weight. Trailing arm torsion bar suspension. Aluminum box and main frame. Trailer was designed to be towed by a HMMWV. You can move it around easy by hand when empty on the roller landing gear. Each wheel has its own lever operated parking brake. Great ground clearance. I have the bows and cover for it also. Even though all the military trailers are set up for 24volts light power, this trailer has LEDs all around and they work fine on 12 volts. I just spliced a flat 4 prong wire harness into the military harness so I can tow it with the Gladiator of my 1985 M998.

Had to run my sled to the dealer, first opportunity to see that I did indeed install the Mopar brake controller correctly! ??

It’s a 7x14 full aluminum, 3500lbs with two sleds and gear. Was surprised that the factory mirrors seem adequate with the convex I have stuck on them as well.

I've seen a few of these through the years converted into sleeping space and/or chuck wagons.
One of them cut the firewall put and had front hood like setup. Created more sleeping room.

Towing a teardrop camper that I made. This was on our trip to Crested Butte last year. I’ve probably towed it about 10,000 miles so far

This was a bit of a load for my deezel (on 37" tires and 3.73 gears). Handled the freeway (I-15) without much issue at all despite the 4300' elevation. Climbing mountain passes it was not as happy at all. The car is 3900 lbs. Trailer 1600 lbs. I think some gears would certainly help if I were to tow my Buick more often. We shall see. This is one of the first times I really missed my Super Duty

I was down to 50 mph and 240* coolant temp between Brigham City UT and Wellsville UT in two spots. (small red dots)

Great looking setup! Do you have the max tow package? Hopefully getting an AS this weekend, and curious how the tow experience will be.

Yes, I do have the Max Tow package. You definitely need a good weight distribution hitch and a trailer brake controller. My local Airstream dealer messed up the WDH install and it was horrific. Make sure to setup the WDH with load in the truck similar to what you expect to tow with. Once that got addressed it’s fine. Towed it about 6k miles so far.

I added Sumo Springs in the back and I probably could use stiffer shocks to reduce the impact of side wind or passing semis.

Did it force you to slow down or did you throttle back.

Took this out for a test run after spending the winter upgrading the suspension, Jeep 17" wheels and 33" tires, installing air conditioner. Can't wait for first overland trip....
