Great looking trailer ... becareful pulling it with an Exploder, them things are unstable ... UHaul won't let you tow anything behind them after the fuss Ford threw. |

| Re: New Trailer Nice trailer, Get with me about local dealers and parts for the trailer. You may want to come look at mine just to get some ideas on what to do or what not to do. BTW I am working on some wheel chocke that secure to the e-track directly, I will post pics later tonight of that project. |

And for all you Explorer haters... That's next on my list! Probably trade the Mountaineer and the GTO in on something dual purpose... |

| Re: New Trailer Not to fan the flames, but I pulled my black 20' trailer for 2 seasons with an old V6 Exploder. It pulled it OK, but with the short wheelbase I got into more than a couple of death swings from crosswinds and semi truck blow-by. Even with a weight distributing hitch and anti-swaybars the Exploder/trailer would get into multiple crazy Ivans under the "right" conditions . . . |

The dual axle definitely helps with stability, and overall I was impressed with how well it pulled considering how long it is. Glad to know what I'm doing isn't completely insane! |
