Yes

The crux issue is do you have a 2″ ball, able to handle 600-800 pounds tongue weight and have a 4 or 5 inline plug, 5 pin pentagonal or 7 pin round style wiring plug?

600 – 800 pounds????????????????????
Give me a break! Is that a styrofoam trailer????
Childs play, try 18000 lb of roofing trash on a 2-5/16 equalizer hitch IN A DULLY!
(um that was a little scarry)As far as the the plug, well ive got 2 in the back on the van.
My experiance has shown, I could have 10 plugs, and nun would be right the first time!!! 🙄Scott e

Scott,
Many thanks! You saved the launch this weekend. I’ll shoot you an email with directions to the trialer.
Sorry I can’t be there this weekend. Good luck on the cert flight!

I’ve towed enough trailers to know… tongue weight is generally 1/3 of total load – our case more like 1/5 or 1/6. You need a beefy vehicle and expect to get crappy gas mileage.
