Re: Trailer Specs Needed
 

You're thinking of fifth wheel trailers, that would require a
commercial "A" license, and may go through truck scales. Of course, a
vehicle trailer would have to have the brakes hooked up and two break
away chains.

With the chains crossed under the tongue. In Michigan, anything over 10,000#
requires a commercial license, AFAIK.

Yeah, but if I had a shiny new Ford 6.0 turbodiesel instead of my '87 Ford 6.9
diesel, I would be seriously thinking about a 16' car hauler trailer.
Sometimes it can be really "exciting" flat towing on a down grade with the
extra 4,200# of unbraked weight. :o

Although my normally aspirated IH motor could pull the extra weight of the
trailer all day, it wouldn't do it very fast, so I am saving my "spare" change
for a Hypermax turbo before I start thinking about a trailer.
