I tow a boat trailer, 2 tonne and 26 feet long and nearly 10 feet high.

Does that count?

I also tow a small trailer 5 feet x 3 feet, but that doesn't count cos I can tow it with any car.

Regards,
Rustic

I tow a Compass Rallye 534. Just back from a 5xweek trip to Spain. Loaded to the gunnels,and averaging 21mpg. Would probably have done better if we didnt take so much gear with us.

good thinking , but if i tow my wheelchair ( giving more room inside my truck ) there is a bit of a problem .... the wheelchair has centrifugal brakes , which means if i go about about 5mph it applies the brakes lol
