Coolest tow vehicles!

Yea a while back on the thread about loading ramp stories someone posted about using their new 1990 dodge dakota to tow their buddies new boat.... Anyways made me think of it when I was hooked up.

I use my cherokee to move the bravura around the property wouldnt even think about trying on the ramp.

None of my rig hooked up to the boat yet, but here's my truck. 01 Tacoma with a Solid Axle Conversion

Your going to need a 6 inch drop I believe.

14"

I have it back strapped to the frame. The high clearance bumper is what does it because it's really not that tall of a truck

This brings up a good point and I know this is getting off "Coolest Tow Vehicles", I tow with a full size GM and have an 8" drop hitch. My trailer sits at just slightly angled UP (See attached image).

Are you guys that tow with Tahoe, Yukon, Suburban, Escalades using a 10" drop hitch to provide more clearance in the back and easier on /off?

I have a 95 suburban takes a 4" rise to make the trailer set level.

Your trailer looks dead level, which you want. Are you wanting it higher in the rear so it doesn't drag? Or lower at the front of the trailer so it's easier to get on and off the hitch? I don't think I understood your question.

Yeah bigcity. It needs to drop 1-2 more inches and you will be good and you wont drag as much. A single axle trailer tows the best just below level.

Here's a shot of the new tow rig! Work required a heavier duty truck, so I figured, lets do it big!
