Towing a gooseneck trailer

Post by Alsatian »

I like the low end torque of diesels for towing but I don't think VW had this in mind when they put diesels in their cars. I saw this the other day and had to take a picture. The trailer looks about 24' long.

I thought they were crazy until I saw the license plate. Colorado... were they stoned when they came up with this one?

Beast mode! Hopefully the owner did some upgrades to the motor and transmission

Different, things look like they are thinking outside the box in Colorado, maybe legalizing pot had something to do with it???? Single axle 24' trailer. Pretty light weight I guess.

Man that trailer would cut inside of your tow vehicle way too much during turns. Back in the 60's I saw several roof mount tow assemblies for full size cars and fifth wheel trailers.
