I like it, I have been toying with this or a mini tire/toolbox trailer but I am short on space to store the trailer.



If you can offer any insight to your engineering prowess I would appreciate it, I like that the wheels are not upright.

Carm,

When did that happen? That sux. It wasn't even broken in yet. Although I'm sure you'll enjoy the 450.

Old rig followed by the new. Used that Jeep from 2002 through mid-2005. It was great, but the bigger Ram is obviously much more roomy and stable. A diesel/dually is probably in my future when I upsize the trailer.

edit: picture quality went to hell when I resized

I miss my '02 F250 7.3L PDS Lariat 4x4 crew cab, which I sold a few years ago after my divorce (needed a daily driver so I traded it for an '03 M3).

Now using an '05 F150 - works fine for my car and 17' featherlite open trailer.

Dave, you've got to get her with the program. Make her understand that a happy hubby is a good thing!

The big question is, among ****ty tow vehicles.......which one is the best. Or ****tiest.....or maybe least ****tiest

You know what I mean.
