This is the info I've gotten so far Thanks
weight-distibuting attachment (reccommended to use)
load equalizing hitch
ramps not tilt trailer
buy a trailer that was rated higher than the weight you are pulling
5 in channel steel (NOT ANGLE!!).
A 5 ton trailer is alot stronger, stiffer and will handle better then any less rated trailers.
dual axles
dual brakes
Auto-Bus based in Hazleton
rent a u-haul and trailer or a u-haul large enough to load the beast into
Now for the tow vehicle
I've been looking at the new Dodge Dakota. I am not worried about the get up and go,
but the stopping worries me as I've been wondering if the Dakota has enough
weight on the ground to stop with. I've never trailered with a trailer that has brakes.
I know there a must but would they help enough to use with the Dakota? Hope I'm
not opening a can of worms!
