Towing with the GMC over the years



This was the first trip with the GMC.  St. Cloud, to Danbury Wisconsin and back for some off road fun. I flat towed the 4 seater, while my friend towed my buggy on the trailer behind his wrangler. 

 

I have not towed the boat too much.  Just a couple weekends just an hour or so away from the house.  It tows nice, but I have not tried to land it with the gmc.  So far there is always someone else there with a truck.

I installed  a towbar on my friends Jeep wrangler.  It towed decent.  Problem was he took it apart and spent two years upgrading to a v-8 in the jeep.  so now it is a little heavier, and he is still working out the bugs on the swap.  so not sure when i can borrow it again.

My Dad's 4 wheeler and trailer for hunting.  His trailer is heavy for it's size.

This is how I used to tow my buggy.  tows really easy. Just goofy loading buggy on that trailer.  I have towed this a few places. I think this was out to appleton for the first big GMC trip after I actaully fixed alot of things that were wrong with it when i brought it home.

I towed this way a couple times.  First was a longer haul up to the iron range, in MN.  The trailer has electric brakes.  It tows nice, but I think I seen a real drop in mileage.  I also was running hot this trip, but I think that was due to radiator problems.

I think the ranger is about 400+ pounds heavier then my dad's 4 wheeler.  I towed this down near Ellesworth wisconin and back.  It struggled on the hills.  but it did not over heat.  this was  a week after I changed the radiator, and was over 90 degrees on the trip out.  I took less hilly route home, and it was cooler. 

This is how I haul my dune buggy now.  tows really easy.
