Trailer Pics! Got my Aztex "Oklahoma" trailer today, hooked it up to the Sonoma, and loaded up the Z28. It doesn't sag, has plenty of power to get up to 70mph, and stops like a champ. In other words it works great!
If you're in to big slow expensive heavy trucks that's fine but a small quick cheap truck will tow an Fbody like a champ!

Re: Trailer Pics! looking good <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
mine squats like its pregant <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" /> but thats from the little lift kit and etc...
i put power brakes on mine and mannnnn, talk about a breeze to stop... accelerating is a PITA for a 1500 series though, which was why i wanted a 2500HD ext cab <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
<img src="http://www.slowls1.com/trca.JPG" alt=" - " />
only trailered the POS once though, cause the track was 3 hours away

Re: Trailer Pics! i think i use the worst suited trailer ever. lumber for on ramps, and about 2 inch clearance on the sides! climbing through the t-top is a pretty intense adventure! check it out...

Re: Trailer Pics! Terry. I don't have any pictures of mine (yet)but 2 things different - I have 'shorty' fenders and can open the doors of the SS <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> and I have a front shield to stop all the rocks and bugs from destroying the fron of the SS. Works great.
By the way your hood looks great. I 'assume' that its a pin on.
Good Luck

Re: Trailer Pics! How much would the truck sag in the rear if it was hauling a full-weight F-body? LOL!
Now you have your towing setup, so no excuses for not coming to the Thunder event in November.

Re: Trailer Pics! You haven't seen anything yet, until you see the new Aluminum Roll-Back trailer. No Ramps! Slants down to a 5 degree angle and you can put a truck on it and it is still cool. You have got to go look at all the pictures! Roush District Manager bought a steel one 2+ years ago and you know how LOW to the ground they are. We have one and there just isn't any better Quality or Looking one on the market and we have looked and looked. E-mail me and I will send you pictures of our car with 2" ground clearance going straight on one. If you need to push on----these are great. I know because we have pushed. I dare you to look!

Re: Trailer Pics! JUST the pic I needed!
I plan on trying out some far from home tracks this year and don't want to worry about getting my car home if I break something with the 422 and t-brake.
So I just traded in my 2.2 s10 and got a 4.3 Zr2 hoping that it will haul a light trailer. Looks like it'll work!

Re: Trailer Pics! My 4.3L Sonoma towes great! My car+trailer come in around 4500#, no problems doing 60-70mph up hills and 80 on flat ground.
