You have me beat. I tow my trailer with a Chevrolet Avéo.

This is the Valley of Fire State Park, about 45 minutes north of Las Vegas.

Very quiet, that photo was taken about 3 weeks ago. Lots of hiking and... well that's about it! probably too hot for comfort in the summer but perfect weather right now (high 70s, down to low 50s at night).

Used to use my wife's 4-cyl SUV. Towed fine, but the smallish tank and the drop in MPGs meant a lot of gas stops.

Then I got a new truck, been using it for the last 5-6yrs. Towing doesn't affected very much, it only gets 1 MPG less than the 4-cyl while towing.

Nice choice of BBQ. Did you happen to go to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum down the road?

I use a jeep to tow my trailer, which in-turn involves a jeep towing a trailer.

But do you us it or just show it. Looks to me that you just show it. Just another pair of trailer queens. :thinking:

Works for me. Got to be better than a tent, especially if it’s very wet outside. ;)
