The vehicle did not slow down climbing the grade on I75 to Chattanooga. It does, however, slow down a bit on hills when driving rural roads. The transmission is the weakest link of any tow vehicle, and heat is the enemy. The tow vehicle should be equipped with a towing package, which consists of additional cooling for the transmission and engine. We will be adding this to our Jeep in the near future.
Trailers are available in galvanized or painted steel.
We opted for the galvanized version. Painted trailers rust and chip after a few years use. Tongue extenders facilitate getting the trailer into deeper water. This is essential, especially with a wing or fin keel boat. Trailers are available with single or tandem axles.
