What kind of boat do you have and how far do you tow it? Any hills, windy areas, etc.? Thanks

I just put the hitch on mine this weekend so I can pick up a vanity and sink top.
18' trailer, it only had about 500 pounds with the cabinet, top and some lumber but towed great.
I don't have the wiring hooked up yet, I need to get a brake controller and a 7 pin plug.
I'll probably haul the Farmall 140 with it sometime just to see how it does.

I pull a boat roughly 3000 pounds with my 2008 4 door. Its an auto with 4.10 gears with 35s and 3 1/2 inch lift. I have had no issues. A tiny bit sluggish going up a big hill but that's to be expected

I went and picked up my new Yanmar 221 with deck and loader the other day.
I know it's too much weight for the Jeep but it hauled it just fine. All secondary roads and brakes on both trailer axles.
Got the weight situated right and it was nice and stable.

Another towing adventure with the Jeep.
We bought a Pergola (have no idea what that means and it doesn't keep you dry...) but it was a display and needed taken down and hauled for a good price.
Well, 11 1/2' wide and 14' long on my 18' trailer I had to watch out for oncoming cars and mailboxes but didn't hit either.
