Yep, it pulls like a dream.

Couldn't resist. Found this on another site.

You have a problem with that? Lol... that is hilarious they probably park the tow vehicle inside the trailer at the campsite

Muh Tracker! Don't make funna muh Tracker!

I built a (tool) trailer specifically for my Tracker, and got years of great use out of it. Still have the trailer, but the Tracker's motor shook itself apart at age 18.

Nice trailer. It sure looks better behind your Tracker than theirs does!

There are so many photos of rigs like this one that I decided to make a collection and post them. Viewer Discretion Advised: some of these rigs might hit pretty close to YOUR home.

Wow. @2:54, I'm assuming this was taken post-accident... otherwise, how the heck does the guy make a turn without crushing his propane tanks?

Good eye. I can’t speak to the validity of all of these - some of them are clearly staged. Maybe this one was also staged. But it does get you thinking…

I will admit when we first upgraded from a pop up to hybrid TT, on paper my Jeep Grand Cherokee was capable of towing it but our first (and only trip with that combination) convinced me it was far from ideal for towing that trailer. We upgraded the TV to an 01 Durango. It did not have the full tow package but the only 2 things from the tow package were the mirrors and the power steering cooler. It had the factory hitch, the 3.92 gears, and the 5.9L V8 gas motor. I upgraded the rear shocks and did a complete fluid service on it before we started towing with it. It did a wonderful job, handling the hybrid with ease, but the fuel economy SUCKED! I got maybe 15 on a god day solo, downhill with a tailwind, towing, it never went above single digit mileage. December of 2019 I was in a position to purchase a new to me TV. I knew what I wanted, and shopped long and hard for it. I ended up with a 2018 Ram 2500HD Laramie, 4X4, crew cab, with the Cummins TD. Just under 50K miles on it. I paid $43K out the door title, tags, tax, registration, weight fee, and a 4 year 48K mile warranty. Solo I get between 21-22 mpg and towing 14-16 mpg. Now that I've had it for a little over a year, I've put over 25K miles on it, made some mods to make it more for my needs, I added a camper shell, had the bed sprayed with Line-X, added under cover swing cases for tool storage. We took that truck and our Jayco hybrid to South Dakota at the end of Aug last year for 2 weeks. On our trip, my wife and I were discussing trading in our hybrid for a hardsided TT in the next couple years. On our way home we stayed at Hill AFB Famcamp, and while there, we went to a Camping World to get a water pressure regulator. That location was a Jayco dealer and we asked if they had a specific model we were interested in. The salesman said no, but they had a 2021 Cougar Half-Ton, 27SABWE that had just come in with a similar floor plan to what we were considering. We ended up trading in the Jayco and bringing the Cougar home from that trip. With my wife's and my work schedule we were only able to get in one weekend last year before cold weather set in. I did add a 50amp RV electrical pedestal at our home to keep the trailer plugged in at all times. We have trips booked for the first weekend of April and Memorial Day weekend so far this year. Hopefully we'll get a lot more use out of it this year.

My first TT when I moved up from the Pop-ups was a Coachman 21'. I had a Ram 2500 4x4 Cummins. It towed it all right but I could always feel it back there. The guy I bought it from towed it with a Chevy Blaser and would take it to Fl.
