I started out with a ford escape then used a ford explorer. Just upgraded to an old Chevy 2500 this year. Everyone tells you you’ll mess your car up. Sometimes messing up an suv is cheaper than buying a truck. Do what works for you! Love the hustle. The amount you save in gas alone is worth using SUV’s. I pulled a 16 foot dual axle with a scag 61 inch v ride and a 36 inch v ride roughly 4K pounds gross on the explorer
Glad im not the only one lol. I pull my 5x8 trailer with my honda civic and run a 48" walk behind. My fully loaded trailer is probably 800-900 lbs. Barely notice a difference in gas mileage. Helps keep profits as high as possible. That mower you're using is crazy heavy for your vehicle. Almost twice the weight of my fully loaded trailer on just your mower and you have a smaller engine. Most 4 cylinder vehicles have a tow capacity of 1000 lbs. Your mower alone is 140% of that. Fully loaded with the trailer is probably just shy of 2000 lbs. Thats like 65% the weight of the vehicle you tow with.
Yeah the mower is just under 1400. Trailer is like 650.lol. I'm looking for a truck for sure. I pulled my 2020 stx1500f in and out the water and to the lake with no problems. This is significant much more weight.
Not yet. I bought that car new in 2015. Been pulling motorcycles and all kinds of stuff and now have over 400k miles on it. I am looking for a truck also.
