What's your ultimate tow vehicle?

[Vedette]

YOU want to experience it FIRST HAND. Pictures will NOT do it justice ! If you ANYTHING about Roly... you KNOW that HIS builds are the best, strangest, most beautiful, functional, pieces of ART !

OH MY ! I hope I haven't put my life in danger by sayin anythin that I shouldn't have. ( He'll have me killed ! ) So by all means... COME TO LAKE PERRIS TO WHITNESS THE UNVEILING !( Pass the word ! )

If you don't see any of my posts after this... call the National Guard and have them check the desert fer a shallow grave...

You should be scared. He may just do that!
He now has the equipment for it!

Neither... He called it the "Shrunk Bunk". Let's see if I can remember how many trailers he has made and in what sequence...#1) The 1/2 Nelson, All Wood ( Woody) with the Sunbeem Toaster,Satellite Dish,Coffee Pot,etc..#2) The 1/4 Nelson( Originator of the 40 inch wide club). It measures 40 inches wide and 6 ft long. Painted Blue and Yellow( The Sweedish Flag colors). He has upgraded it with a Trolly Top... #3) Definitely a Roly Nelson ORIGINAL ! It was a mere 3ft by 3ft and simply attatched to the trunk of his Camry and sat on the ball of his tow hitch. ( No wheel) It telescoped out to the side to make a 6ft bed. (I think he called it the No Wheel Teardrop)...Then #4, The Shrunk Bunk ! It is 40 inches wide by 48 inches long and about 24 inches tall. The top of the trailer lifts UP and becomes nearly 4 ft tall ( A high/low ? )THEN, there is a swing out footwell on the front that when deployed makes fer a 7 ft bed. An engineering MARVEL ! But then, that is what HE does ! As fer build #5.. yup # FIVE! That is a carefully guarded SECRET ! TOP Secret even ! National Security kinda secret ! Roly says it will be ready fer the Teardrop Only campout at Lake Perris the last weekend of March 2014. If you are a FAN of the Roly Nelson type builds... you won't want to miss the unveiling of this newest, most daring, most unique,VERY interesting, AMAZING, incredible,unimaginable, engineering marvel, like NUTHIN you'll EVER see,TEARDROP TRAILER !

Trust me, you do not want yer friends to be telling YOU about it. YOU want to experience it FIRST HAND. Pictures will NOT do it justice ! If you ANYTHING about Roly... you KNOW that HIS builds are the best, strangest, most beautiful, functional, pieces of ART !

My ultimate tow vehicle would be an orange Ferrari, La Ferrari.

Reason:

1. If I can afford a one million dollar plus Ferrari I must have at least 40 - 50 million dollars in the bank.
2. If I can afford to have it painted orange I probably have a lot more.
3. If I can afford to have a trailer hitch installed upon it I am incredibly wealthy.

Will I tow with it? Absolutely! I will obviously have way to much money to be concerned about the costs of repairs that will be uncured.

Wish me luck.

Although the TD would probably get left at home....but $700,000 reasons I don't have one....makes those Ferrari dreams seem quite reasonable.

You tow with a Boxster? Suddenly I feel so inadequate using a mere Miata for towing my trailer...

Ultimate tow vehicle, just about finished with the teardrop

This one seems to fit the bill nicely.

the '14 Cherokee is really comfortable and can tow up to 4500 lbs with the v6 and tow package. I can't feel my trailer behind it.

Bit of a hairdressers car, but loving this.... Can't stretch to £29,000 though...



It's a range rover evoque.... Apparently mrs posh spice beckham helped design the interior....

The land rover defenders are going out of production next year and the rumor machine says the last 50 or so off the production line will be 5.0 supercharged using the Range Rover engine.
A beast of note!

FJ40 swb or perhaps a BJ45 longwheel base.

I changed my mind and bought a 1974 Land Rover 88" The parts are cheaper here and there are loads of them around.

Sprinter van for all the toys. Turbo diesel gets 20-25mpg.

Given my preference I would pull my TD with a Subaru Crosstrek STI, if Subaru ever makes one. Alternatively our Forrester or a FJ Cruiser will suffice.

For my teardrop Tacoma doublecab. If we aqquire a second truck/suv -Jeep 4dr maybe Rubicon versioin.
if moving up to travel trailer sizes I like a gasser Chevy 2500HD 4x4 Z71 crew cab; if a 5wheeltrailer then I go diesel.

If never ever leaving pavement a Grand Caravan, did a month long road trip in a Grand Caravan, I could do it again.

I love the Land Rover, unfortunately my mechanic has threatened bodily injury if I acquire one. I declined a Range Rover County LWB last week.
Always attracted to the Unimogs.
