If you towed a horse trailer with it. You'll have no problems towing that enclosed car trailer.

The side escape and e-track with tire straps are worth the money. I also use/needed Race Ramps trailer ramps because of the diffusers on my car.

LOL, I wasn't worried about the truck at all. I prefer a Gooseneck trailer but it appears they are more pricey than a bumper pull. What I am worried about is the length limit going to Fontana Village.

It’s also a 102” wide one; be prepared to take up a lotta road.

I have an open trailer and totally agree on getting the e-track and tire straps. I also have Race Ramps, the longest set they make, LOL.

FI, and a few others get their trailers to the village. Depends on which way you go in for your comfort level. I towed a 35ft camper in northeast Pa on some roads that was almost as twisted.

LOL, my horse trailer is no shrimp. It is 32ft on the floor plus the gooseneck and is 8 foot wide with a Living Quarters. I have been in the mountains before with it. I have to put the whole truck in the left ditch to make a right turn when I go get hay.

Ouch, this is par for the coarse. Champagne taste and beer wallet. It is $26,900. That is more than I want to spend.

Spooler · 02-26-2018, 02:16 PM

This is a better price, but I would have to order and add an escape door and Etrax.

You can do what I had to do. U-haul! Or your wife can sell another dog.
