i think i am going to pick up a new one for my tow vehicle. Where on Long Island are you?

the new ones drive great and have a better towing capacity than a burban, i have been using burbans for the pass 6 years towing numerous trailers and cars.

2005 Cayenne S, towing a standard Carson trailer and Ariel Atom. The trailer & car together should weigh under 3,000 lbs. I used to tow this setup with a V6 Toyota Tacoma 4x4, and it handled it very well. The Cayenne does a much better job though, and a lot more comfortable too.

2007 Dodge 2500 w/ 5.9 Cummins Turbo Diesel, 6-speed manual. Currently pulling my borrowed 18ft. open steel trailer. 16mpg with the open trailer. I got 11 coming back from Topeka with a 30 mph headwind going 70mph pulling a 24 ft. enclosed. I average 20-21 mpg around town.

Coming soon a new Pace 44ft, enclosed gooseneck in blue. Will be partnering up with another of the Buckley Racing team and hauling 2 cars.

2007 Escalade, 20' American Freedom enclosed trailer (had to do enclosed as that is also the storage for the car, as it is stored outside).



The Escalade pulls like a champ! I don't have the long wheelbase version, as it won't fit in the garage, but I'm not disappointed in the performance thus far at all. Plus, it gives me baller status, yo.

2001 Ford F250 7.3L turbo diesel. Not a great picture, but it's tough to get the whole truck and trailer in the same picture.
