When purchasing the IMSA TR8 I also thought about to buy it with the US =
trailer but I=E2=80=99ve dropped that idea.
Too wide, too heavy, different brake system, too high hitch load.
=20
US trailers are very different to Europe ones but looking more cool!

I think a lot of the differences between Europe and USA for trailering =
are within trailer design itself. U.S. Designed trailer have a much =
higher to tongue weight where as axle position of European trailers make =
them much more akin to flat towing a car. And if you look at the world =
strongest man competition, a single human can pull a 727 around. Throw =
a bunch of tongue weight on it and it taxes the towing vehicle much much =
more.=20

I have been checking out the new F-150's a bit. According to the specs, =
with the max-tow package they are within a few pounds of the tow =
capacity of the F-250's. Since I only heavy tow a few times a year the =
gas savings throughout the rest of the year compared to the F-250 would =
be substantial as I put on about 250 miles per week just going to work =
and back. Is anybody on the list towing any weight with one of these new =
ones? How=E2=80=99s is it working out for you?
