2004 Chevy 2500 HD Duramax/Allison and a trailex.

This ought to be a real speed deamon down the Interstate.
 
1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited (V8) with a $750 used open deck steel trailer (with $300 in maintenance, and counting)
 
Nothing yet... we're looking at mid-nineties Suburbans, late nineties Durangos, and mid-nineties diesel trucks.
 
1992 Ford E150 Van with 20' open trailer (brand spanking new last year). Trailer brakes make all the difference...

2003 Ford E250 6.0 Powerstroke diesel, pulling a 20' box TPD with ITS BMW 325 inside, probably weighs about 7000 lbs. I can go up the Grapevine at 70 on cruise control and still get 11MPG! Did I say I love this truck?
P.S. This is a great addition to the chat site.

1993 Ford E-350 cargo van, non-turbo diesel 7.3L. Dual-axle 15' open trailer. Plenty o' torque: pulls the 2300-pound car and at least 500 pounds of "stuff" with no problem, getting 13mpg. Plenty o' space: it's my warehouse, repair shop, changing room, and sleeping quarters all in one.

Unfortunately, we now have two race cars and three bodies to carry, so we're looking for an E-350 extended passenger van with a Powerstroke, plus a two-car open trailer...
 
A 96 Chev 2500 extended cab with a 350 and a 16 ft open trailer (steel) that is at least 20 years old, but upgraded to 4 wheel electric brakes. The off season task is to re-wire the lights.

My heart desires an enclosed trailer but I wonder if my truck has the power to handle it?
 
1999 Suburban 2500, 454

18' open trailer, steel

2600 lb race car.

Will tow 80 mph on the highway, 10 mpg. Decent rig, I like it.
 
2002 GMC DENALI, 16' open all steel w/tire rack and minibike rack. 12mpg on flat, 10mpg on hills.

97 Ford F-250 7.3L powerstroke diesel

18' Trailerworld all aluminum open trailer

1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 5.2 liter V-8 and two-axle open deck steel trailer (18' I think). Trailer has tire rack over the front of the car. Used to have a big pickup truck tool box bolted to the front of the trailer when I had my CRX, but the new Z3 is longer, so the box had to come off. With the CRX, and the weight distributing hitch, I could tow at 75mph no problem.

Now I need to find a bigger tow vehicle to carry the stuff that used to go in the tool box (jack, jack stands, etc) and in the hatchback of the race car (canopy, beach chairs, tarps). Thinking about a late-90s 'Burb.

Would consider selling the whole rig - great for CRX/Golf/Rabbit or similar short IT car. That way I can upgrade to a 'Burb and enclosed trailer.
